PLAT-ADMN-201 Question #11: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Ursa Major Solar's Platform Administrator is editing the page layout for a new custom object. A text area field is accidentally removed from the page layout, and it needs to be restored to the page layout. What are two methods for achieving this goal?

Options

• AClone the layout from a different profile and use save as.
• BRestore original page layout from a sandbox.
• CRestore from the recycle bin within 15 days.
• DFrom the fields palette, drag the field into the same position.

Explanation

When a field is removed from a Salesforce page layout, the field itself is not deleted - it is simply removed from the layout and returned to the fields palette. (D) The most direct fix is to drag the field from the fields palette at the top of the page layout editor back into the desired position on the layout. (B) If the administrator has a sandbox that contains a backup of the original page layout, they can retrieve and restore the layout from there. (A) Cloning a layout from a different profile's assignment would overwrite the current layout with a potentially different one - not a targeted restore. (C) The Salesforce Recycle Bin stores deleted records, not page layout configuration changes; page layout edits are not recoverable from the Recycle Bin.
