Standard values on data templates are used to define default field values, default settings, and insert options for a data template1. They appear in the content tree as a child item of the data template called __Standard Values1. When a new item is created from the template, it inherits the standard values for its fields. If the value of a field is NULL, the item contains the standard value for that field as defined in the data template2. This way, standard values provide the default values for fields when a new item is created from the template and a fallback value when fields are left NULL2. References:

Field sections are logical groupings of fields that help to organize the fields within a template. Field sections can be added to a template by using the Insert Section option in the ribbon. Field sections have a name and an icon that can be customized. Field sections are useful for grouping related fields with templates and the resulting items, as they make the fields easier to find and edit in the Content Editor and the Experience Editor. Field sections also allow you to control the access rights and validation rules for a group of fields, rather than setting them individually for each field. Field sections can be inherited from base templates, and can also be shared across multiple templates by using the Insert Shared Section option. Field sections do not affect the presentation or rendering of the fields, as they are only used for data structure and organization purposes. References: Sitecore 10.0 Developer Documentation - Field sections

The Sitecore Extranet security domain is a website security domain that contains the user accounts that correspond to the visitors to the website. It also contains the customized roles that manage read access to the content of the website1. The Extranet domain is the default domain for the website and it is used to authenticate users who need to access restricted areas of the website, such as a members-only section2. The Extranet domain is not related to the Sitecore identity server, the Sitecore client tools, or the third-party environments. Therefore, the correct answer is C. References: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/82/sitecore-experience-platform/security-domains.html

This answer is based on the Sitecore documentation of deploying files into running containers1. When developing using Sitecore MVC, you may need to modify files in your Visual Studio project that are outside of the webroot folder, such as controllers, models, or views. To see the changes within the Sitecore installation, you need to copy the file to the webroot folder of the Sitecore instance, which is the destination of a volume inside a container. You can use the Visual Studio’s Publish command to do this, as it allows you to specify the target location of the file system. Alternatively, you can also use the Sitecore Docker Tools extension for Visual Studio, which provides a convenient way to deploy files to the webroot of a running container2. References:

Field editor buttons are custom experience editor buttons that allow content authors to edit multiple fields of an item in a pop-up window. This is useful for complex fields that are not easily editable in the experience editor, such as multilist fields, checkbox fields, or image fields. Field editor buttons can also be configured to edit the fields of the data source item of a rendering, rather than the page item. Field editor buttons can improve the content authoring experience by providing a convenient and consistent way to edit fields in the experience editor. References:

The $name token is a special token that can be used in fields on standard values items to instruct Sitecore to set the value of the field to the name of the item upon creation1. This token can be used in rich text, single-line text, and multi-line text fields2. To ensure that items created from a template automatically have the Title field populated with the name of the item, you should add the $name token to the template’s standard values Title field. This way, every item that inherits from the template will have the Title field set to the item name by default. You do not need to set the $name token in the new item’s content Title field, as this will only affect the specific item and not the template. The _name token is not a valid token in Sitecore and will not have any effect. References: 1: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/101/sitecore-experience-manager/the-name-token.html  2: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/sxa/93/sitecore-experience-accelerator/content-tokens.html

 The sitecore.json file is the project configuration file that contains several properties, including a modules property that references the relevant Sitecore Content Serialization modules. If the path of a specific module file is not set in the modules property, the SCS system will not be able to locate and access the module file, which contains the items to be serialized. Therefore, the paths and related items included in the module will not be serialized when you run a push or pull command. This can lead to missing or inconsistent data between the Sitecore instance and the file system. References:

When using Sitecore MVC, the static class that contains information about any current HTTP request is Sitecore.HttpContext. This class is a wrapper for the System.Web.HttpContext class, which provides access to the intrinsic objects of ASP.NET, such as Request, Response, Session, and Server. Sitecore.HttpContext also exposes some Sitecore-specific properties, such as Database, Device, Domain, and Site. Sitecore.HttpContext is different from Sitecore.Context, which is another static class that provides information about the current Sitecore context, such as Item, User, Language, and ContentDatabase. Sitecore.Request and Sitecore.HttpContext.Request are not valid classes in Sitecore MVC. References:

Sitecore.Context Class - Sitecore

Versioned layouts allow you to create different layouts for different versions of an item. This means you can have a specific layout for a specific version of the main page that is published for a specific period, such as a company anniversary celebration. You can easily revert to the original layout by switching back to the previous version of the main page. Versioned layouts are stored in the __Renderings field of the item, which is a versioned field. Versioned layouts are enabled by default in Sitecore 10. References:

This answer is based on the Sitecore best practice of using template inheritance to avoid duplication and ensure consistency. Template inheritance allows you to create a base template that defines the common fields and then create other templates that inherit those fields. This way, you can reuse the same fields across multiple templates and avoid having to update them individually if you need to make changes. Template inheritance also helps you to organize your templates in a logical hierarchy and reduce the complexity of your data model. References:

This answer is based on the Sitecore documentation of dynamic placeholders1. Dynamic placeholders are an extension of the regular Sitecore placeholders that allow you to add the same placeholder name several times across multiple renderings, and even within the same rendering. Dynamic placeholders generate a unique key for each placeholder instance, which ensures that the content within the placeholder is unique and not duplicated. Dynamic placeholders also enable you to build functionality that generates multiple placeholders within the same rendering dynamically. For example, you can use dynamic placeholders to create a tab component that can have any number of tabs, each with its own content. References:

 When creating your containerized Sitecore environment with Docker, you need two files to launch the containers: docker-compose.yml and .env. The docker-compose.yml file contains the configuration of the services that make up the Sitecore environment, such as the roles, networks, volumes, and dependencies. The .env file contains the environment variables that are used by the docker-compose.yml file, such as the Sitecore license path, the image tags, the host names, and the passwords. These files are recommended because they simplify the process of launching the containers and allow you to customize the environment according to your needs. References:

 Sitecore headless development is based on a decoupled architecture where the rendering host is a separate application that handles the presentation logic and the Content Delivery role is a Sitecore instance that handles the content management and delivery. The rendering host communicates with the Content Delivery role using Sitecore headless services, which are APIs that expose Sitecore content and layout data in a JSON format. The rendering host translates a visitor request to a content item in the Sitecore instance. The Sitecore instance using Sitecore headless services returns the content item and the associated presentation details, and so on, to the rendering host. The rendering host renders the content item for the visitor. This way, the rendering host can use any technology or framework that supports HTTP requests and JSON parsing, such as ASP.NET Core, React, Angular, Vue, etc. References:

Presentation details are the settings that define how and where content will be displayed on a webpage. They include the layout, the renderings, the placeholders, and the datasources for each rendering. Presentation details can be set at different levels in Sitecore, such as standard values, content items, or device items. However, for non-SXA websites, it is recommended to avoid setting presentation details directly on new content items, and instead use standard values. Standard values are the default values for the fields of a template, including the presentation details. By defining presentation details on standard values, you can ensure that all content items created from the same template will have the same presentation details by default. This eliminates the need to set presentation details for each individual content item, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. It also makes it easier to maintain and update the presentation details for a group of content items, as you only need to change the standard values once, and the changes will be inherited by all the content items based on that template. Setting presentation details on standard values also allows content authors to use the Experience Editor to edit the content and presentation of the items, without having to switch to the Content Editor. The Experience Editor is a more user-friendly and intuitive interface for content editing, as it shows the content in the context of the webpage. Therefore, by avoiding setting presentation details directly on new content items, you can improve the efficiency and consistency of your content creation and presentation process. References: Sitecore 10.0 Developer Documentation - Presentation details, Sitecore 10.0 Developer Documentation - Standard values
