Templates & Use Cases · Lightning Bolt Capabilities
True or False: A Lightning Bolt solution can package a custom Theme Layout, but it cannot package the specific digital experience settings found under Administration, such as reputation point values or moderation rules.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
This statement is true. Lightning Bolt is excellent for packaging the visual and structural aspects of a site, including custom theme layouts, pages, and components. However, it does not package the administrative settings from the Experience Workspaces, such as moderation rules, reputation levels, gamification, or dashboard mappings. These must be configured manually or deployed via the Metadata API post-installation.

Community Builder · Performance Optimization
A consultant needs to optimize the performance of a high-traffic Experience Cloud site that uses the Customer Service template. The site has a large number of components on the home page and is accessed globally. Analysis shows that initial page load is slow due to network latency for users far from the Salesforce data center. Which single action in Experience Builder settings would provide the most significant improvement for this specific issue?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is specifically designed to address network latency by caching static assets (like CSS, JavaScript, and images) in geographically distributed servers. When a user requests the page, these assets are served from the closest server, significantly reducing load times. While progressive rendering helps with perceived performance, the CDN directly tackles the root cause of global network latency for assets.

Sharing and Security · Guest User Security
A healthcare provider is setting up a patient portal using Experience Cloud. For HIPAA compliance, they need to ensure that guest (unauthenticated) users cannot see any member information, including names or profile pictures in Chatter feeds, even on publicly accessible records like general health articles. Which guest user security setting is critical to enable?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The setting 'Guest user visibility is turned off' (or its equivalent modern name which is a checkbox to limit visibility) is the most direct control for this requirement. When enabled, it prevents guest users from seeing any other members of the site, effectively anonymizing any user-generated content they might see on public pages. While 'Secure guest user record access' is also critical for overall security, this specific setting addresses the visibility of member information.

Sharing and Security · Partner Role Hierarchy and Sharing
Case Study: Apex Apparel Co.
Apex Apparel Co. is a fast-growing clothing brand that sells through a network of franchised retail stores. They are launching a new partner portal with Experience Cloud to streamline operations. The portal must support multiple business processes and user types.
User Personas & Requirements:
- Franchise Owners: Need to see aggregated sales dashboards for all stores they own. They should have read/write access to their own 'Franchise' custom object record and read-only access to their individual 'Store' records. They manage their own staff.
- Store Managers: Report to a Franchise Owner. They need read/write access to their specific 'Store' record and related objects like 'Inventory' and 'Staff Time-Off'. They must be able to see all records owned by their staff at that store.
- Store Associates: Report to a Store Manager. They can only create and edit 'Staff Time-Off' records that they own.
Technical & Security Constraints:
- The organization-wide defaults for 'Store', 'Inventory', and 'Staff Time-Off' are Private.
- The company wants to avoid custom code for sharing where possible.
- The number of partner roles must be managed efficiently.
Which configuration of roles and sharing will meet the requirements for Store Managers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The most efficient declarative solution is to use a partner role hierarchy (e.g., Manager, User) and enable Super User access. By placing the Store Manager in the 'Manager' role, they can see all data of the 'User' roles (Store Associates) below them at the same partner account. Super User access grants visibility into their peers' and subordinates' data within that account, fulfilling the requirement. A three-tier role structure is unnecessary and less scalable. A Sharing Set is for sharing internal records with partners, not for partner-to-partner sharing within the same account.

Community Setup · Automatic Topic Assignment
A consumer goods company wants to use Salesforce Knowledge in their customer self-service site. To improve SEO and user navigation, they want to automatically assign the topic 'Product Manuals' to any Knowledge article published in the 'Manuals and Guides' data category. How should a consultant configure this automation?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Experience Cloud provides a declarative feature for this exact purpose. Under Content Management > Topics > Automatic Topic Assignment, an administrator can create mappings between data categories and topics. This ensures that any article published with that data category is automatically tagged with the corresponding topic, enhancing organization and findability.
- Question 6Intermediate
Implementation · Deployment Strategies
A project manager is planning the deployment of a new Experience Cloud site from a sandbox to production. The site was built using the Experience Builder and includes several custom pages, a theme layout, and audience definitions. Which metadata type is essential to include in the change set or deployment package to move the site's structure?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The ExperienceBundle metadata type represents the collection of settings, pages, branding, and configurations for an Experience Builder site. It is the primary mechanism for deploying Lightning-based sites between environments. While Network and CustomSite are also part of the overall site definition, ExperienceBundle contains the detailed structure created in the builder.
- Question 7Intermediate
Community Builder · Audience Targeting Troubleshooting
A consultant has used the Audience feature in Experience Builder to create two versions of the home page: one for 'US Customers' and one for 'European Customers'. After publishing, the company reports that European customers are still seeing the default US version. What is a common reason for this misconfiguration?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The most frequent error in setting up audiences is creating the audience and the page variation correctly but failing to link them. Each page variation must have its corresponding audience explicitly assigned to it. If the European variation has no audience assigned (or the wrong one), users matching the 'European Customers' criteria will fall through to the next available or default page variation.

Community Management · Reputation Points Configuration
A membership organization has a site where members can ask questions. To encourage participation, they want to award 10 reputation points for asking a question, 25 points for posting an answer, and an additional 50 points if their answer is marked as 'Best Answer' by the person who asked. Where in Experience Workspaces would a consultant configure these specific point values?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The specific point values for actions like asking a question, answering, or having an answer marked as best are configured in the Reputation Points section under the Gamification workspace. Reputation Levels define the point thresholds for advancing to the next level (e.g., Novice to Expert), but the points themselves are set in the Reputation Points area.

Content · Content Personalization
A company wants to create a personalized experience for its logged-in users by displaying a list of 'Recommended Articles' based on the user's industry. The user's industry is stored on their User record. The articles are standard Salesforce Knowledge articles. Which THREE elements are required to build this declarative solution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: B, C, D
Audiences are required to segment the users based on their industry.
Individual Recommendations must be created to point to the specific articles for each industry.
The Recommendations must be linked to the Audiences to ensure the correct articles are shown to the correct users.
- Question 10Beginner
Sharing and Security · User Provisioning
True or False: When a user is provisioned for an Experience Cloud site using a Partner Community license, a role is automatically created for that user and associated with their partner account.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
This statement is true. A key feature of Partner Community licenses is the automatic creation of a partner role hierarchy. When the first partner user is created for a partner account, Salesforce generates roles for that account. Subsequent users are added to this hierarchy, enabling role-based sharing among partners from the same company.
