Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder

Salesforce · intermediate · 105 minutes

Update in progressSalesforce now publishes this exam as Platform App Builder, five sections, questions aligned to Summer 26; our bank was written for App Builder as two broad domains with the release-version excuse, checked on 21 September 2026. The questions still teach the subject, but the split per domain has moved.

Building applications on the platform without code: the master-detail against lookup decision and what each permits, junction objects, formula and roll-up fields and validation rules that fire on true, record types with dynamic forms replacing page layouts, and Lightning pages with component visibility; then Flow types chosen by trigger, the judgement about when declarative is genuinely not enough, designing record against field access, report types and dashboards, and source-driven deployment.
