Question 368 of 904
PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
An organization uses Power Automate flows that connect to Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. They want to ensure that if a flow is accidentally deleted, it can be recovered within 30 days. What should they do?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to assume a manual backup or admin policy is required, overlooking the fact that Power Automate automatically retains deleted flows in a recycle bin for 30 days by default.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Store the flow in a solution and export it regularly.
Why it's wrong here
Exporting provides a copy, but the recycle bin is automatic.

Enable version history for the flow.
Why it's wrong here
Version history tracks changes, not deletion recovery.
- ✗
Configure a backup policy in the Power Platform admin center.
Why it's wrong here
Backup policies apply to Dataverse databases, not individual flows.
- ✓
No action needed; deleted flows are automatically retained in the recycle bin for 30 days.
Why this is correct
Power Automate preserves deleted flows in the recycle bin for 30 days.
