- Exam section: Flexcards
- Study guide: https://www.certifyforce.com/study-guide/omnistudio-developer

**Official exam objective:**

> Embed Flexcards across UI components and different channels.

## What the exam expects

- Activate a Flexcard and set Publish Options targets, including what happens when none are selected.
- Add the standard Flexcard component to Lightning App Builder pages and to Aura and LWR Experience Builder pages, with exposed attributes and record context.
- Configure an LWR site so Flexcards render and show real data while you test.
- Display a Flexcard in a custom LWC and expose that component in a builder through its js-meta.xml.

Key terms: **Publish Options** (target pages where the card's component can be used), **exposed attributes** (JSON values for a card's public properties on a builder page), **standard Flexcard component** (the component that loads an active card by name), **lightning-omnistudio-flexcard** (wrapper that renders a Flexcard in a custom LWC), **LWR site** (an Experience Cloud site on Lightning Web Runtime).
