Getting Microsoft Certified: FAQ
Here's some FAQ to help you get started with getting your first Microsoft certification.
Turn OFF multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your organisation – Microsoft 365
As an admin, you can turn off multi-factor authentication. I've put this together specifically for people who might have signed up for a Microsoft 365 trial, or perhaps you've set up a tenant to run training with a group. With MFA off, users wont be prompted to provide a phone number or another authentication method when trying to sign in to their Microsoft Tools.

If you've signed up to use Power Apps, you may need to create a new environment.

I've put this together for people who may be participating in Power Platform training using a trial tenant and are required to create an environment.
Sign up for a free trial to try out Microsoft 365 + Power Platform tools
With a free trial of Microsoft 365 you can use the Power Platform and Microsoft 365 tools without interfering with your normal work account. Useful for creating demos or for training.

Document generation with Power Virtual Agents: talk to the bot > fill a Word doc template > save the file in SharePoint
The Word Online (Business) connector for Power Automate allows you to generate documents. Beginning with a Microsoft Word template, you can use the connector in a flow to take inputs, populate them in a template, and save the document. Here, we'll take a look at how you can use a conversation with a bot to collect these inputs, create the document, then return a link to the file back to the user.
