An author has a story point showing a dashboard filtered to the North region. They change the filter on that same captured dashboard to the South region and want the existing story point to now reflect South, while leaving the total number of story points unchanged. Which action on the story toolbar records the new state onto the current point?
AClick the blank New Blank Point button, which inserts an empty point ready to receive the South state
BClick Save as New Point, which keeps the original North capture and appends a separate South point
CClick Duplicate, which copies the current point so the original keeps North and the copy can hold South
DClick Update, which overwrites the current point's captured state with the South filter selectioncheck_circle Correct
The Update button overwrites the active story point with the dashboard's current captured state, leaving the total number of story points unchanged. A story point stores a captured snapshot of the sheet's state; Update rebinds that snapshot to whatever is currently displayed, replacing the previous capture in place rather than creating a new point as Save as New Point or Duplicate would.
Why A is wrong: A blank point creates a fresh empty placeholder and does not capture the current dashboard state onto the existing point, so it both adds a point and fails to update the current one.
Why B is wrong: Save as New Point adds another point rather than overwriting the current one, so the point count would rise and the existing point would still show North.
Why C is wrong: Duplicate produces an extra point, increasing the count, and the original capture is unaffected, so it does not update the existing point in place.
Why D is correct: Update overwrites the active story point with the dashboard's current state, so the existing point switches to South without adding or removing any points.
Answers that look right on this material and are not. Each one is a distractor from a different question in the Analytics-DA-201 bank for this domain.
The phone layout is an independent copy whose sheets are unlinked, so editing a worksheet does not affect the desktop view.
errorWhy it is wrong: Device layouts are not separate copies of the worksheets; they rearrange the shared objects, so claiming full independence misreads how layouts work.
Delete the second and third points and recreate them in the desired order, then retype the caption when recapturing.
errorWhy it is wrong: Deleting and recreating points discards their captured state and is far more work than needed, since story points can be reordered and recaptioned directly without rebuilding.
A Navigation object that carries a custom label and jumps the viewer to another dashboard on a single click.
errorWhy it is wrong: A Navigation object is tempting as a styled element, but its whole purpose is to drive movement between sheets, not to add static content.
