Question 1 Topic 7, Mixed Questions
You need to investigate the canvas app functionality issues.
Which two tools can you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. App checker
- B. Errors function
- C. Solution checker
- D. Power Platform admin center
Answer:
A C

make your app accessible. The App checker is an area that the PowerApps team will continue to invest in, and build on in
order help to make debugging, performance and best practice decisions an easier and more guided experience.
C: With the solution checker feature, you can perform a rich static analysis check on your solutions against a set of best
practice rules and quickly identify these problematic patterns. After the check completes, you receive a detailed report that
lists the issues identified, the components and code affected, and links to documentation that describes how to resolve each
issue.

Question 2 Topic 7, Mixed Questions
A company uses a third-party cloud-based app to make real-time business decisions. The app has a RESTful API.
You must design a Microsoft Power Platform solution that interacts with the third-party app. Changes made in the Microsoft
Power Platform solution must be reflected in the cloud app.
You need to recommend technologies to integrate the Microsoft Power Platform solution with the cloud app.
Which two technologies should you recommend? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Scheduled Power Automate cloud flow with a custom connector to the cloud app
- B. Power Virtual Agents
- C. Custom plug-on registered with Microsoft Dataverse
- D. Model-driven app
Answer:
A C
Explanation:
A: To enable Logic Apps, Power Automate, or Power Apps to communicate with the REST or SOAP API, use a custom
connector, which is a wrapper around a REST API (Logic Apps also supports SOAP APIs).
C: Custom APIs are a powerful way to connect to any existing API, hosted anywhere, from PowerApps. You do not need a
PowerApps Enterprise subscription to register or use a Custom API.
Custom APIs are RESTful endpoints that you can connect to and use from PowerApps. All youll need is a Swagger
definition file for your endpoint.

Question 3 Topic 7, Mixed Questions
You are evaluating a solution design for a model-driven app that will have a large number of complex forms.
Many of the forms take up to 10 seconds to load.
You need to recommend solution to speed up loading times for the forms.
Which two solutions should you recommend? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Consolidate and reduce scripts.
- B. Use synchronous JavaScript requests.
- C. Move scripts into the OnLoad event.
- D. Remove unnecessary fields.
Answer:
A D
Explanation:
D: Controls that require extra data beyond the primary record produce the most strain on form responsiveness and loading
speed. These controls fetch data over the network and often involve a waiting period (seen as progress indicators) because
it can take time to transmit the data.
Keep only the most frequently used of these controls on the default tab.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Use asynchronous network requests when requesting data. Request data asynchronously rather than synchronously
when extra data is necessary for customizations.
C: Moving scripts to the Onload event would slow down the loading of the form.

Question 4 Topic 7, Mixed Questions
You are a Microsoft Power Platform solution architect working on a project. API calls are being sent between external
applications and a Microsoft Power Platform solution.
The number of requests per user within a given time frame varies. Some users may be exceeding the service protection API
limits.
You need to ensure that the API conforms to service protection limits.
Which three metrics should you review? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. The number of requests that a user can make each day.
- B. The total number of requests that can be processed each day.
- C. The number of concurrent requests that a user can make.
- D. The total execution time for requests by all users.
- E. The combined execution time required to process requests from a user.
Answer:
A C E
Explanation:
Three types of service protection API limit errors that can be returned: 1. Number of requests
This limit counts the total number of requests during the preceding 300 second period.
2. Execution time
This limit tracks the combined execution time of incoming requests during the preceding 300 second period.
3. Concurrent requests
This limit tracks the number of concurrent requests.

Question 6 Topic 7, Mixed Questions
HOTSPOT
You are conducting performance testing for a Microsoft Power Platform solution. The solution uses Power Automate cloud
flows to query and synchronize data across 10 different tables based on various criteria. You make the following
observations:
Internet speed during testing is fast (500 Mbps).
There are 50 Dynamics real-time workflows in use.
There are 63 Dynamics asynchronous workflows in use. There are 76 Power Automate cloud flows in use.
You identify the following performance issues:
Data changes are slow to save.
Background processes often take hours to complete.
You need to recommend steps to resolve the performance issues.
What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Reduce usage of near real-time workflows
A real-time workflow can be converted to asynchronous workflow and back to real-time.
Box 2: Convert all Dynamics 365 workflows to Power Automate cloud flows.
Workflows are limited to Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM application only.
Power Automate can span across multiple web-based services or applications at the same time. Dynamics 365 CRM
Workflows can be converted to Power Automate flows.

Question 7 Topic 7, Mixed Questions
A company wants to create a Power Automate flow that posts marketing events to social media.
The company must ensure that the postings adhere to regulatory requirements for handling of personally identifiable
information (PII) data. The company will not post events to unauthorized social media platforms.
You need to ensure that the requirement is met.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Configure the relevant connector so that is part of the Non-Business data group category.
- B. Create a security role to prevent data export.
- C. Configure an Azure Active Directory (AAD) security role for the maker to the environment.
- D. Create a Data Loss Protection (DLP) policy.
- E. Configure the relevant connector so that it is part of the Blocked data group category.
Answer:
D E
Explanation:
DLP policies enforce rules for which connectors can be used together by classifying connectors as either Business or Non-
Business. If you put a connector in the Business group, it can only be used with other connectors from that group in any
given app or flow. Sometimes you might want to block the usage of certain connectors altogether by classifying them as
Blocked.

Question 9 Topic 7, Mixed Questions
You are a Power Apps architect for a company. The IT administrator designs a Power Apps app that is ready to be tested.
The company uses application lifecycle management (ALM).
Each version and solution component must be tracked as it is tested.
You need to recommend a strategy to deploy solutions for the user acceptance testing environment.
What should you recommend?
- A. Use Package Deployer and deploy a managed solution.
- B. Use Package Deployer and deploy an unmanaged solution.
- C. Use Solution Packager and deploy a managed solution.
- D. Use Solution Packager and deploy an unmanaged solution.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Solution Packager is a tool that can unpack a compressed solution file into multiple XML files and other files, so they can be
easily managed by a source control system.
Unmanaged solution: An open solution with no restrictions on what can be added, removed, or modified. This is
recommended during development of a solution.
Incorrect Answers:
A, B: Package Deployer lets administrators or developers deploy comprehensive packages of relevant assets to Dataverse
instances.
C: Managed solution
A completed solution ready to be imported into an organization. Once imported, components cant be added or removed,
although they can optionally allow further customization. This is recommended when development of the solution is
complete.
