PL-900 Canvas App Practice Question
A non-profit organization needs to collect feedback from event attendees via a form that automatically populates a SharePoint list. Which Power Platform component should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is that candidates might think Power Automate is sufficient because it can populate SharePoint from a form, but the question asks for the component that provides the form interface itself, which is Power Apps. Power Virtual Agents also could collect data via a chatbot, but it is not a form; the question explicitly says 'via a form'.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Power Apps (canvas app)
The requirement is to collect feedback via a form that automatically populates a SharePoint list. Power Apps (canvas app) is the correct component because it allows building custom forms that can directly write data to a SharePoint list. Power Virtual Agents is a chatbot platform, not a form builder, so it is not suitable. Power Automate can automate workflows but does not provide a user-facing form interface, and Power BI is for analytics.
