What the exam expects
- Restore an earlier version of a dashboard from Version History without API calls, and know why a restored version can fail.
- Decide when Dashboard Publisher fits a delivery requirement, such as reworking a dashboard while users keep the current one.
- Know who can become a publisher and how app access grants it.
- Run the Publisher workflow: mark the top version Live, save edits as drafts, review them, and make one live.
- Predict what publishers and other users see at each point.
Key terms: Version History (the dashboard panel that lists saved versions and, for Dashboard Publisher, its publishers); version (a snapshot saved on every edit, shown as Change 1, Change 2 and so on); publisher (a user on the dashboard's publisher list who can work on drafts); Live (the version all users see); Draft (a saved version only other publishers can view).
