Experience-Cloud-Consultant Practice Test Questions

Explanation:

The process of creating a Partner Community user is distinct from creating a regular internal user. It must be initiated from the Contact record associated with the partner account. The key is that the user is enabled first, and then their profile and role are configured afterward.

Let's break down the correct sequence:

View the partner account contact.
Why: Partner users are created from Contact records, not from the standard "New User" button. You must first navigate to the specific contact that represents the person who needs portal access.
Select Manage External User.
Why: This is the specific action on the Contact record that initiates the process of converting a Contact into an Experience Cloud user.
Select Enable Partner User.
Why: This button confirms the action and actually creates the user record. At this point, the user is created but is not yet fully configured. The system will generate a username and a temporary password.
Edit the user record to assign the correct role/profile.
Why: After the user is enabled, you must navigate to the newly created User record. Here, you assign the appropriate Profile (e.g., "Partner Community User") which grants the user their license and permissions. You also assign a Role within the partner account's role hierarchy, which controls record sharing and visibility.
Save.
Why: This finalizes the user configuration.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. This is incorrect because it starts by editing a user record that does not exist yet. You cannot assign a role and profile to a user before the "Enable Partner User" step has been performed to create that user record.
B. This is incorrect because it uses "Enable Partner Account," which is not a standard button or step. The correct term is "Enable Partner User." Furthermore, it places the role/profile assignment before the user is enabled, which is the wrong order.
D. This is incorrect for the same primary reason as A and B. It starts with editing a non-existent user record and uses the non-standard term "Enable Partner Account."

Reference
Salesforce Help: "Create Experience Cloud Users from Contacts"
Core Concept: The correct, unchangeable sequence is Contact -> Manage External User -> Enable Partner User -> Configure User Record. You cannot pre-configure a user before they are enabled for the community. This process ensures the user is properly linked to their associated contact and account.

Explanation:

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) is setting up B2C self-registration for individual customers using Customer Community Plus licenses. Since they are not using placeholder accounts, they must rely on Person Accounts, which combine Account and Contact into a single record — ideal for B2C scenarios.

Here’s why the correct steps are:

✅ A. Ensure that the Account field is empty in the registration section
For Person Account creation, the Account field must be left blank.
If populated, Salesforce assumes a Business Account model and tries to associate the user with an existing account, which is not desired in this B2C flow.

✅ D. Contact Salesforce Customer Support to enable Person Accounts
Person Accounts are not enabled by default.
You must contact Salesforce Support to activate this feature in your org.
Once enabled, self-registration can create Person Accounts automatically when the Account field is blank.

❌ Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
B. Communities Self Registration Controller is a legacy concept. Modern Experience Cloud sites use the SelfRegistrationHandler Apex class or standard flows. No need to contact support for this.
C. Contact field is not relevant in this context. The system creates a Contact automatically when a Person Account is created. Leaving the Contact field empty is not a required step.

Explanation:

Ursa Major Solar (UMS) is facing an issue where guest users cannot see images on its customer portal, which is likely built using Salesforce Experience Cloud. Guest users are unauthenticated users who access the site without logging in. To allow guest users to view images, which are typically stored as asset files or managed within Salesforce CMS (Content Management System), the appropriate setting must be enabled in the Experience Cloud configuration.

B. “Let guest users view asset files and CMS content available to the community” in the Administration Workspace:
This setting, found in the Administration Workspace under the "Security & Privacy" or "General" settings of the Experience Cloud site, explicitly allows guest users to access asset files (such as images) and CMS content that are marked as available to the community. Enabling this setting ensures that images stored in Salesforce CMS or as asset files are visible to guest users, resolving UMS’s issue. This is the most relevant setting for controlling guest user access to content like images.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. “Enable Image Connect for guest users” in the Administration Workspace:
This is not a standard Salesforce setting. There is no feature called "Image Connect" in the Administration Workspace or elsewhere in Salesforce Experience Cloud. This option is likely a distractor and does not apply to the scenario.
C. “Allow guest users to self register” in the Administration Workspace:
This setting enables guest users to create their own accounts (self-register) on the site, typically for becoming authenticated users (e.g., Customer Community users). It does not control access to images or other content for unauthenticated guest users, so it is irrelevant to the issue of guest users viewing images.
D. The "Jepson" theme in the Builder Workspace:
The "Jepson" theme refers to a specific theme in the Experience Builder, which controls the visual styling and layout of the site. While themes can affect how images are displayed in terms of design, they do not govern permissions or access to content like images for guest users. This option does not address the visibility issue.

Explanation:

Salesforce Partner Relationship Management (PRM) is built on the Salesforce Platform, extending core CRM capabilities to an external partner ecosystem. To accelerate sales, PRM focuses on improving the efficiency and speed of the partner's selling process.

C. By automating partner lead routing:
This is a crucial function of PRM. It ensures that new leads are automatically and instantly routed to the most appropriate and qualified partner based on criteria like geography, product specialization, or current partner tier. This automation:
Reduces lead response time, preventing leads from going cold.
Increases partner engagement by ensuring they receive high-quality, relevant leads.
Eliminates channel conflict by clearly assigning leads, thereby accelerating the start of the sales cycle.
D. By automating quoting with Salesforce CPQ:
Salesforce PRM integrates with Revenue Cloud components, most notably Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ). By extending CPQ functionality to the partner portal, partners can:
Generate quotes quickly and accurately without needing manual approval for every detail.
Ensure all quotes are compliant with DF's latest pricing, product bundles, and discounts.
This removes bottlenecks in the sales process, allowing partners to close deals faster.

Detail of Incorrect Answers

A. By automating partner entitlement assignment in Channel sales teams:
While PRM can manage user entitlements (permissions/licenses) and access to features, the core concept of "automating entitlement assignment" is related to the initial setup and maintenance of partner users, not a direct driver of sales acceleration in the context of leads and quoting. Sales acceleration is tied to moving deals forward quickly.
B. By automating partner tiering in Channel sales hierarchy:
PRM certainly enables sophisticated partner tiering (e.g., Gold, Silver, Bronze), which is key for applying the right discounts and incentives. However, the automation of the tiering itself (the promotion/demotion based on performance) is a management and incentive process. It indirectly accelerates sales by motivating partners, but it is less of a transactional acceleration tool than lead routing and quoting. Lead routing and CPQ directly impact the time it takes to process a lead and create a deal, which are the most direct forms of sales acceleration.

References
The concepts of automated lead distribution and extending CPQ for quoting are frequently cited as the primary sales acceleration features of Salesforce PRM (Partner Relationship Management).
Salesforce Documentation - Lead Management: Salesforce PRM includes Lead Distribution functionality, which enables automated lead routing to partners, a key feature for accelerating the sales cycle by improving response time.
Salesforce Documentation - Revenue Cloud Integration: Salesforce often promotes the benefit of extending CPQ (a part of Revenue Cloud) to partners via the PRM platform, allowing them to rapidly generate accurate, branded quotes, which directly accelerates deal closing.

Explanation:

A. Only business accounts can be created as partner users. Partner users must be associated with a business account that has been enabled as a partner account. Person Accounts are designed for business-to-consumer (B2C) scenarios and cannot be enabled as partner accounts. Since UMS has both business and person accounts, it is a key consideration that only the business accounts (DR and CK) can be used for partner users.
B. Assign Partner Community license to partner users. This is the correct license type for partners. The Partner Community license provides access to sales-related objects such as opportunities, leads, and campaigns, which are necessary for partners to collaborate on sales with the parent company. The question states that the DR and CK users do not require access to these objects, but the Partner Community license is still the correct license type to enable an account as a "partner" account, which then allows the creation of "partner" users. Access to these objects can then be further controlled through profiles and permission sets, ensuring the principle of least privilege.

Why other options are incorrect

C. Assign Customer Community Plus license to partner users. The Customer Community Plus license is for customers who require more advanced sharing and reporting capabilities than the basic Customer Community license, but it is not intended for the partner sales channel. Its purpose is different from the Partner Community license.
D. Only person accounts can be created as partner users. As explained above, person accounts cannot be used as partner accounts. This option is incorrect.

Explanation:

In Experience Cloud sites built on the Aura framework, the "Topics" feature is a powerful way to categorize and surface knowledge articles and other content. The available topic types are designed for specific use cases within the site's structure.

Let's break down the three correct types:

B. Standard Topic
Purpose: This is the most common topic type. It's used for general categorization and discovery of knowledge articles. Users can follow standard topics to get updates, and they appear in standard topic components like the "Topics" menu or when browsing the knowledge base.
Use Case: Tagging articles with terms like "Billing," "Technical Support," or "Product Features."

C. Featured Topic
Purpose: This topic type is used to highlight important or popular topics on a page. Featured Topics are typically displayed in a prominent visual component, like a "Featured Topics" carousel or a highlighted section on the community homepage, to draw user attention.
Use Case: Promoting a new product's articles, highlighting seasonal support topics, or showcasing top solutions.

D. Navigational Topic

Purpose: This topic type is used specifically to structure the main navigation menu of the Aura site. Navigational Topics act as top-level menu items that can have other topics (including Standard Topics) nested beneath them to create a hierarchical site structure.
Use Case: Creating main menu items like "Support," "Products," "Services," and "Company."

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
A. Content Topic:
This is incorrect. "Content Topic" is not a standard topic type in Aura. This term is often associated with Salesforce CMS or the Experience Builder (LWR) sites, where you can tag CMS content with topics. It is not a selectable type in the Aura Topics settings.
E. Deleted Topic:
This is incorrect. "Deleted Topic" is not a functional type; it is merely a state. A topic that has been deleted is no longer active or available for use on the site. It is not a category you can choose when creating or configuring a topic.

Reference
Salesforce Help: "Customize Topics in Experience Cloud"
Core Concept: For Aura-based sites, the three fundamental topic types are:
Navigational Topic: For building the site's main menu.
Featured Topic: For highlighting key content in prominent areas.

Standard Topic:
For general categorization and organization of knowledge articles. It's important to distinguish these from topic functionality in the newer LWR-based sites, which integrates more with Salesforce CMS.

Explanation:

Why:
UC needs an authenticated site where existing customers log in to view account-specific data (Contracts) and update billing/account information, plus access articles/manuals/FAQs. The Customer Account Portal template is designed for exactly this: customers can update their account details, view/pay invoices, and search your knowledge base—all behind login. It also supports exposing CRM objects (like Contracts) to logged-in users with the right sharing and licenses.

Why not the others:
A. Customer Service – Focused on support use cases (Knowledge + Cases). It can work for authenticated support, but “account management/billing updates” are a more natural fit for Customer Account Portal.
C. Partner Central – Built for partners (B2B channel sales), not end customers.
D. Help Center – Intended for public self-service (guest users) to read knowledge; it’s not the choice when all content requires login and customers must manage account/billing.

Explanation:

To evaluate the impact of a chatbot on customer service within a Salesforce Experience Cloud site, Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) should focus on KPIs that measure efficiency, customer satisfaction, and support load reduction. Here’s how each correct KPI contributes:

✅ B. CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Score)
Measures customer sentiment after interacting with the chatbot.
A rising CSAT score indicates that users find the chatbot helpful and easy to use.
✅ C. Case Deflection
Tracks how many support cases were avoided because the chatbot resolved the issue.
A key metric for understanding how well the bot handles common queries without agent intervention.
✅ D. Average Handle Time compared to Bot Session Time
Compares how long agents take to resolve cases vs. how long chatbot sessions last.
Helps assess whether the bot is reducing workload and improving response efficiency.

❌ Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Number of lead records created:
More relevant to sales and marketing KPIs, not customer service impact.
E. Case Type by Issue:
Useful for categorizing support issues, but doesn’t directly measure chatbot performance or impact.

Explanation:

A custom theme in Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Community Cloud) is the central tool designed specifically to manage the look and feel, including colors, fonts, and styling (CSS), across an entire site or multiple sites.
Theme components (such as the Header, Footer, and Theme Layout) are reused on every page, ensuring a unified look and feel that aligns with the new style guide and improves brand recognition.
By creating one custom theme and applying it to all sites, UC can implement its new branding efficiently and maintain consistency.

❌ Incorrect Answers
B. Reference a shared Bootstrap CSS file in all of the sites. While this could technically be done, it is less efficient and less integrated than using the native Theme functionality. A custom theme is the intended and best practice approach for managing global CSS and branding within Experience Cloud.
C. Create a custom template to apply to all Experience sites. A custom template defines the overall structure and navigation of an Experience site (e.g., where the header, footer, and main content areas are located). While important for a unified structure, the theme is what controls the design style (colors, fonts, visual branding), which is the primary goal of implementing a new style guide for brand recognition. A theme is applied to a template.
D. Send the style guide to Experience managers to implement. This is an administrative and training step, not the technical solution for implementing the code and design consistently across the sites. Relying on manual implementation by multiple managers is prone to errors and inconsistency.

📚 Reference
In Salesforce Experience Cloud, the Theme controls the visual design elements of an Experience site, including colors, fonts, and component styling, making it the definitive tool for implementing a new brand style guide.

Explanation:

When dealing with a significant volume of spam content from identified users, a manual approach is impractical. The solution must be scalable and efficient.

Insights Reports: Moderation in Experience Cloud is managed through the Moderation Console and its related Insights reports. These reports are specifically designed to surface content that violates community guidelines, including content from specific users.
Custom Bulk Action: A key feature here is the ability to create a custom action on the Insights report. An administrator can create a report that filters for all feeds (posts and comments) made by the identified spammer users. Once this report is created, they can add a custom "Delete" action to the report. This allows the admin to select all records in the report and delete them in bulk, which is the most efficient way to handle a "significant number" of comments.

This approach is proactive, uses the native tools provided for moderation, and allows for the cleanup to be handled internally by the admin team without site downtime.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

B. Submit a high-priority case with Salesforce Support to remove all of the spammers' posts and comments. The site will be under maintenance state until resolution. This is incorrect. While Salesforce Support is excellent for many issues, they do not perform bulk data manipulation tasks like this for customers. Data management (creating, updating, deleting records) is the responsibility of the customer's administrators. Furthermore, putting the site into maintenance mode is an unnecessary and disruptive step.
C. Experience Cloud site managers, moderators, and admins work together to remove all the spammers' posts and comments manually. This is highly inefficient and impractical for a "significant number" of posts and comments. Manually finding and deleting each piece of content is time-consuming, prone to error, and does not scale. It should only be considered for a very small number of items.
D. Enable Experience Cloud Einstein features to remove all the spammers" posts and comments as a background action. This is incorrect for several reasons. First, Einstein for Community (which includes features like Einstein Next Best Action or Recommendation) is not a moderation or data cleanup tool. Second, even if it had predictive moderation capabilities, it is designed for proactive flagging of future spam, not for the retroactive deletion of content from users who have already been identified.

Key Takeaway:
Salesforce Help: "Moderate Your Experience" and "Take Bulk Actions on Insights Reports"
Core Concept: For bulk moderation actions (like deleting many posts from identified users), the correct tool is the Moderation Insights report combined with custom report actions. This provides a scalable, admin-driven solution without requiring code, manual effort, or involving Salesforce Support.
