Build a PL-400 plan around Microsoft’s March 19, 2026 skills guide, the 100-minute assessment, Dataverse extension, Power Apps improvements, PCF, client scripting, plug-ins, custom APIs, custom connectors, integrations, ALM, CLI workflows, and AI-assisted development.
PL-400 rewards real implementation practice. We help candidates study the six current Microsoft skill areas, with the deepest emphasis on extending the platform through Dataverse plug-ins, custom APIs, custom connectors, platform APIs, Power Automate expressions, and integration patterns.
Use the current Microsoft study guide as the source of truth, then practice with developer labs that connect Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate, APIs, ALM, Azure, and troubleshooting.
Microsoft lists 100 minutes to complete Exam PL-400.
The current study guide lists skills measured as of March 19, 2026.
Technical design, Power Platform solutions, Power Apps improvements, user experience extension, platform extension, and integrations.
Microsoft role-based certifications such as this credential renew every 12 months.
PL-400 prep begins with the current Microsoft skills outline. The 2026 guide emphasizes technical design, Power Platform solution build, Power Apps improvements, user experience extension, platform extension, and integrations, with platform extension carrying the largest weight.
Candidates need more than admin familiarity with Power Platform. Build Dataverse tables, configure security, write plug-ins and custom APIs, create web resources, use JavaScript and TypeScript for client-side logic, create PCF controls, and connect those tasks to C#, JSON, RESTful web APIs, Azure, and Power Automate flows.
The highest-value PL-400 labs combine platform extension with integration decisions. Practice Azure Functions, webhooks, custom connectors, managed identities, data synchronization, solution packaging, environment variables, connection references, ALM pipelines, troubleshooting traces, and deployment checks so exam scenarios feel like real implementation work.
