PL-900 (Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals) is the exam for the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Fundamentals certification.

The outline, current since 24 July 2026, has five domains: the platform's business value (5–10%) and four of equal weight (20–25% each) on the environment, Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio agents.

PL-900 (Exam PL-900: Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals) is the exam for the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Fundamentals certification, at beginner level. It validates that you understand what each part of the platform offers and when to use it: Power Apps to build applications, Power Automate to automate processes, Dataverse and connectors to organize and integrate data, and Copilot Studio to create agents. It is meant for people starting to build solutions with Power Platform: the skills focus on describing capabilities and use cases, and the outline does not ask you to write code.
The outline, current since 24 July 2026, has five areas: describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform (5–10%), manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment (20–25%), demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps (20–25%), demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate (20–25%) and describe features and capabilities of agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio (20–25%).
The environment domain has two blocks. Dataverse: how it differs from a traditional database, tables, columns and relationships, forms and views, business logic options including Power Fx, and using AI to create and edit tables. Administration and governance: environments, the security model, data privacy and accessibility, monitoring and analytics, and ALM with Power Platform pipelines. In Power Apps you need to tell apart the use cases for canvas apps, model-driven apps, Plan designer and code apps, and know how apps are created with AI, including the vibe experience.
In Power Automate: when to use a cloud or a desktop flow, scenarios with approvals, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, Forms and document automation, connector triggers and actions, and creating and modifying flows with AI. Copilot Studio agents weigh as much as either of the other two tools: use cases, topics, knowledge sources, tools including MCP servers and agent flows, publishing to channels, Microsoft Agent 365, monitoring usage and adoption, and agent evaluations. The business value domain weighs little, but it goes through every product and gives you a map for the rest.
Start with the business value domain to place each product, then move on to Dataverse and administration, because the rest of the outline relies on those concepts. After that, split your time evenly between Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio, using the Microsoft Learn documentation and training and, if you have access to a test environment, building a simple app, flow and agent with AI assistance. Before you book, take Microsoft's free Practice Assessment and try the Exam Sandbox to get used to the interface. Keep in mind that you cannot look things up on Microsoft Learn during Fundamentals exams. If you want to specialize afterwards, look at [AB-400](/en/certifications/ab-400) to build on Power Platform or [AB-620](/en/certifications/ab-620) to create AI solutions in Copilot Studio; if your interest is Copilot in Microsoft 365, [AB-900](/en/certifications/ab-900).
