PL-900 Migrating an existing website to Power Pages Practice Question
A company is migrating an existing website to Power Pages. The current site has custom URL slugs for each page (e.g., /products/widget). How can Power Pages support custom URL patterns?
⚠ Common exam trap
PL-900 often tests the misconception that the web page 'Name' field controls the URL, when in fact the 'Partial URL' field is the dedicated slug attribute — candidates who conflate display names with URL paths pick the wrong option.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the 'Partial URL' field for each web page in Power Pages to the desired slug.
In Power Pages, each web page record has a 'Partial URL' field that defines the URL segment for that page relative to its parent. Setting this field to a value like 'widget' produces the URL /products/widget when the page is nested under a parent page whose partial URL is 'products'. This is the built-in, supported mechanism for custom URL slugs and requires no code or server configuration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Modify the web page name to include the desired URL path.
Why it's wrong here
The web page name populates the page title and default partial URL segment, not an arbitrary nested slug such as /products/widget. Power Pages stores the URL fragment in the page's partial URL field, which supports the required path structure; renaming alone cannot produce multi-segment custom routes.
- ✗
Create a custom web template that generates URL routes.
Why it's wrong here
Web templates render HTML fragments and Liquid content; they do not register URL routes or rewrite incoming request paths. Custom URL patterns are configured through each page's partial URL property, so a template generating markup leaves the requested /products/widget path unresolved.
- ✗
Use the URL Rewrite module in IIS to map custom URLs.
Why it's wrong here
Power Pages is hosted on Microsoft-managed infrastructure, so administrators cannot install or configure IIS URL Rewrite rules on the serving tier. The platform's own partial URL setting on each page provides the slug mapping, making server-level rewrite configuration unavailable in this hosting model.
- ✓
Set the 'Partial URL' field for each web page in Power Pages to the desired slug.
Why this is correct
The Partial URL field defines each web page's path segment, so setting it to 'products/widget' produces the custom slug /products/widget. This satisfies the requirement to preserve the existing site's custom URL patterns after migration to Power Pages.
