Exam PL-300 topic 4 question 13 discussion

Not too intuitive but true: "Certified datasets make it easier for organizations to steer users toward trusted and authoritative datasets. This "stamp of approval" for a dataset can only be applied by a specific group of Power BI users as defined in a new tenant setting. Once a dataset is certified, it shows up prominently in the new dataset discovery experience, making sure report authors can effortlessly find and leverage these high-quality sources of data." - from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/business-applications-release-notes/october18/intelligence-platform/power-bi-service/shared-certified-datasets

"This is one reason why having official datasets promoted and certified is recommended, as these will appear at the top of the list, with certified datasets appearing before promoted datasets." The question asks for datasets to appear at the TOP of the list. By that logic, it must be certified based on explanation above.

Certified datasets are marked with a special badge and appear at the top of search results, making them easily discoverable for users.

It should be Promote, as is has already been certified, right?

Promotion: Promotion is a way to highlight content you think is valuable and worthwhile for others to use. It encourages the collaborative use and spread of content within an organization. Any content owner, as well as any member with write permissions on the workspace where the content is located, can promote the content when they think it's good enough for sharing. Certification: Certification means that the content meets the organization's quality standards and can be regarded as reliable, authoritative, and ready for use across the organization. Only authorized reviewers (defined by the Power BI administrator) can certify content. Content owners who wish to see their content certified and are not authorized to certify it themselves need to follow their organization's guidelines about getting their content certified.

Answer B Certify Once a dataset is certified, it shows up prominently in the new dataset discovery experience, making sure report authors can effortlessly find and leverage these high-quality sources of data.

Promoting can be done by nearly everybody, certification is done only by assigned roles. So you only can assure that these 10 are always on top when you certify them. Promoting would only randomly show the sets that "somebody" thinks are worthwile using. So Anser must be B

Because of this sentence in the question : "Ten of the datasets were verified to meet your corporate quality standards." I choose B.

But guys, I know first certified and then promoted dataset show up. but the question does not mentioned that we are able to certify the datasets. by default dataset owner cannot certify datasets. owner should first sent a request to certify the dataset. therefore I think B is the correct answer.

the datasets were verified to meet corporate quality standards so they can be certified. - Promotion: Promotion is a way to highlight content you think is valuable and worthwhile for others to use. It encourages the collaborative use and spread of content within an organization. - Certification: Certification means that the content meets the organization's quality standards and can be regarded as reliable, authoritative, and ready for use across the organization. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-endorse-content

Once a dataset is certified, it shows up prominently in the new dataset discovery experience, making sure report authors can effortlessly find and leverage these high-quality sources of data.”

Correct Answer A. Promote the datasets. To ensure that the 10 verified datasets appear at the top of the list of published datasets whenever users search for existing datasets, promoting the datasets is the best option. Promoting the datasets would involve highlighting them in search results, adding labels to them indicating that they have been verified, and making them more visible on the platform. This will make it easier for users to find and access the verified datasets, which can help increase their usage and value. Certifying the datasets, featuring them on the home page, or publishing them in an app may also be helpful in promoting them, but promoting the datasets is the most direct and effective way to ensure they appear at the top of search results. No confusion, no need to discuss further

Answer B is right: "Now when a report writer, from Power BI desktop, wants to connect to a dataset they will be offered certified datasets, then promoted datasets, with all other datasets listed afterwards."
