The correct actions are adding additional alerts to the incident and creating bookmarks. From the incident details page in Microsoft Sentinel, you can consolidate an investigation by linking related alerts directly to the open incident, which centralizes all evidence into one case, and by creating bookmarks to preserve specific data points or queries for later review. On the SC-200 exam, this tests your understanding of incident management workflows—specifically how to enrich an incident without leaving its page. A common trap is confusing where actions occur: analytics rules are modified in the Analytics blade, and playbooks are run, not created, from the incident page. Remember, you can only *add* alerts and *create* bookmarks from the details page; you never delete alerts or build playbooks there. Memory tip: "Add and Bookmark" are the only two consolidation tools on the incident details page.
