Answer is correct. I guess, with the requirement "The solution must preserve the original colors of the reports." they only want to point out, that the colors must not be changed FOR the reports to achieve the goal, but only change the theme for the dashboard. A little misleading, IMHO. B is wrong, because the dark mode is a personal setting on the user's computer and has nothing to do with the dashboard theme, which is required to be dark.

Changing the colors of the report visuals on a dashboard doesn't affect the visuals in the associated report. Also, when you pin tiles from a report that already has a report theme applied, you can choose to keep the current theme or use the dashboard theme. Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-dashboard-themes I think the clause, "The solution must preserve the original colors of the reports." refers to the visuals in the report and not the dashboard

Wow that was confusing. Organizations will really create tests with ambiguous questions like that and then complain that people try to find sample questions online.

Very tricky indeed. "Original colors of the reportS" would mean bar colors for example but with the dark destination theme. However selecting use destination theme also changes source bar colors, soooooo... CD, even though colors will change......

The option C is not correct. If we must preserve the original colors of the reports we should select the "keep current theme" option instead of "Use destination theme". I only see one right option, the "D" one. We could upload a snapshot but it would be a static image, so it makes no sense.

If you select "keep current theme", then the dashboard will change from the dark colour that is intended.

I think that "preserve the original colors of the original reports" means that the original reports' them remain unchanged after your fllowing action. As such, CD is correct.

Selected Answer: CD

C. Use destination theme: This ensures that the dashboard itself adopts the dark theme, while the pinned visuals retain their original report colors. This is key — if you choose "Keep current theme," the visuals might not blend well with the dashboard’s dark background. D. Select the dark dashboard theme: This applies a consistent dark background and tile styling across the entire dashboard, giving it a unified look. You can do this by editing the dashboard and choosing a built-in dark theme or uploading a custom JSON theme.

Selected Answer: CD

C: When you pin visuals from reports to a dashboard, selecting "Use destination theme" ensures that the dashboard applies its theme (dark, in this case) without altering the original colors of the report visuals. D: Applying the dark dashboard theme makes the entire dashboard consistent in its appearance with a dark theme. Other options are not correct because: A: Uploading a snapshot does not address the theme or color consistency. B: Setting the browser to dark mode affects the browser interface, not the dashboard. E: Tile flow is unrelated to themes or color preservation.

No doubt on my side about option D to set the requested dark theme for the Dashboard. Option C is my second selection as option A, B and E doesn't work at all but it's not clear to me if "...solution must preserve the original colors of the reports" why we re pinning visuals "using detination theme" (i.e. Dashboard dark theme)

As most people here, I think D is the only option truely correct. C is ambiguous, as if you apply the destination theme, the colours of the reports may change. However, I would discard options A,B and E. so I would answer C,D

If we choose select the destination color, the color of visuals will change. it should be "Keep current theme", and in dashboard when we select dark mood, it we change the background color, but not the color of the report. I think the options are wrong.
