PL-900 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are capabilities of…
Which TWO of the following are capabilities of Power Pages?
⚠ Common exam trap
PL-900 often tests the boundary between Power Platform components — candidates confuse Power Pages with Power Apps or Power Automate and pick capabilities that belong to those services.
Answer choices
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
✓
Integrate with Dataverse for data storage
Power Pages is Microsoft's low-code platform for building secure, external-facing business websites, so option E is correct: it lets makers create external-facing websites without code using templates, the design studio, and prebuilt components. Option A is also correct because Power Pages stores and surfaces data in Microsoft Dataverse, using Dataverse tables, forms, lists, and web roles/permissions to drive the site's content and interactions. Option B is not a Power Pages capability; complex machine learning models are typically built and run in Azure Machine Learning or Power Platform AI Builder, not in Power Pages itself. Option C is not correct for Power Pages because business process automation with workflows is provided by Power Automate (cloud flows) rather than being a native Power Pages capability. Option D is not correct because custom iOS and Android mobile apps are built with Power Apps mobile or native development tools, whereas Power Pages produces responsive web portals, not native mobile apps.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Integrate with Dataverse for data storage
Why this is correct
Power Pages uses Dataverse as its native data store, letting sites read and write table records through forms, lists and Liquid, governed by table permissions and web roles. This tight integration is a core platform capability.
- ✗
Run complex machine learning models
Why it's wrong here
Power Pages renders web pages with Dataverse data and forms; it cannot execute machine learning models. Running complex models belongs to Azure Machine Learning, which would be chosen when hosting and scoring trained models at scale is the requirement.
- ✗
Automate business processes using workflows
Why it's wrong here
Workflow automation belongs to Power Automate, which triggers on events and runs actions; Power Pages instead renders external-facing web pages backed by Dataverse. It tempts because portal forms often kick off approvals, but that orchestration is a separate service, not a Power Pages capability.
- ✗
Build custom mobile apps for iOS and Android
Why it's wrong here
Native iOS and Android builds come from Power Apps mobile, which packages canvas apps for devices; Power Pages delivers responsive browser-based sites instead. It tempts because Power Pages sites render on phones, but responsive web rendering is not a compiled mobile app.
- ✓
Create external-facing websites without code
Why this is correct
Power Pages provides a low-code designer for building external-facing sites, letting makers publish public pages and forms without writing code. This satisfies the question's requirement for a no-code capability, distinguishing it from model-driven apps, which target internal users.
