PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
A company is planning to build a Power Apps app for field service technicians to view and update work orders. The app must work offline and sync data when connected. Which TWO components are required to achieve offline capability?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to assume the Dataverse database alone (Option E) is sufficient for offline capability, but the offline profile is the explicit configuration required to define what data is cached and how sync operates.

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
✓
Offline profile in Microsoft Dataverse
An offline profile in Microsoft Dataverse defines which tables, columns, and relationships are available when the app is disconnected. It enables the Power Apps mobile player to cache data locally and synchronize changes automatically when connectivity is restored. Without an offline profile, the app cannot determine what data to store or how to resolve conflicts during sync.
