PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
A company wants to build a Power App that allows sales representatives to capture customer feedback offline on their mobile devices. The feedback includes text, images, and signature. Which feature should be used to handle offline image and signature capture?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is assuming that any Power App with Dataverse automatically supports offline image and signature capture, or that SharePoint or model-driven apps can handle it without specific controls.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a canvas app with offline capability and the Camera and Signature controls, syncing to Dataverse when online
To capture offline images and signatures in a Power App, you need a canvas app with offline capability and the Camera and Signature controls. The app can store data locally and sync to Dataverse when connectivity is restored. This combination directly supports the required offline capture of text, images, and signatures.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use a SharePoint list with Power Apps integration for offline data capture
Why it's wrong here
SharePoint lists lack native offline capture for images and signatures; Power Apps integration does not extend offline support to those control types. It tempts candidates already using SharePoint as a data source. A canvas app with Dataverse offline storage handles binary and signature data.
- ✗
Use a canvas app with the Offline template and store data in Dataverse
Why it's wrong here
The Offline template stores data in Dataverse, but its default offline support covers text fields; image and signature capture need explicit canvas controls configured for offline use. It tempts candidates who assume the template alone satisfies all offline media requirements. Additional control configuration is required.
- ✓
Use a canvas app with offline capability and the Camera and Signature controls, syncing to Dataverse when online
Why this is correct
Canvas apps store data locally via the offline profile, letting the Camera and Signature controls capture images and signatures without connectivity. Dataverse queues these records and syncs them automatically once the device reconnects, satisfying the offline capture constraint for text, images, and signatures.
- ✗
Use a model-driven app with Dataverse offline sync
Why it's wrong here
Model-driven apps with Dataverse offline sync handle table data, but offline image and signature capture relies on canvas app controls. It tempts those equating Dataverse with all offline capability. Canvas apps provide the camera and pen input controls this scenario requires.
