What the exam expects
- Preview a site as an authenticated or a guest user before anything goes live.

- Reject audiences as a way to protect data; use sharing and guest security instead.
- Build the page hierarchy and expose object records through the Navigation Menu on Aura and LWR sites.
- Explain the Components panel, shared theme layout regions and Hide on Mobile.
- Predict what one publish does.
Key terms: audience (a set of criteria that defines a user segment); page variation (an alternative version of a page shown to an audience); record-based criteria (audience criteria on fields of the record being viewed); theme layout region (an area such as the header shared by every page that uses the theme layout); publish (pushing all Builder changes since the last publish to the live site).
