What is the purpose of 'Solution Checker' in Power Platform?
Answer: Analyze a solution for best practice violations, performance issues, and reliability problems
Solution Checker runs static analysis on solution components and reports issues with performance, usage, and coding best practices.
Which Power Platform tool allows makers to view and compare changes between two versions of a solution?
Answer: Solution history and the solution versioning export comparison
Solution versioning records when solutions are imported, and the solution history screen shows what changed between imports.
When importing a Managed Solution that updates an existing Managed Solution, which update mode should you use to add net-new components without removing existing ones?
Answer: Upgrade (Stage for Upgrade then Apply)
Using 'Stage for Upgrade' followed by 'Apply Upgrade' replaces the old solution version with the new one cleanly while preserving the managed layer.
What is a 'Solution Patch' in Power Platform?
Answer: An incremental update to a managed solution that ships only the changed components
Solution Patches are child solutions that include only the subset of components that changed, reducing the size and risk of updates.
In Power Platform ALM, what does the term 'environment variable' refer to?
Answer: A configuration value stored in a solution that can differ between environments without changing the solution
Environment variables in Power Platform solutions store configuration parameters that can be set to different values per environment at import time.
Which Power Platform Admin Center capability allows administrators to copy a production environment to create a sandbox for testing?
Answer: Environment Copy
The 'Copy' feature in Power Platform Admin Center duplicates an environment's customizations and data into a new or existing target environment.
