One of each format GH-200 uses, from the same bank.

Answer on the page. The explanation appears when you submit; use Next to move through the formats.

Sample 1 · Concept

Your platform team maintains a reusable workflow at `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` in the org's `platform-templates` repository. Team A wants to call it from their own repository's workflow using the `uses` keyword under a job. Which reference correctly invokes the reusable workflow at a specific released version?

Pick one, then submit.

Sample 2 · Scenario

A reusable workflow declares `inputs: environment: { type: string, required: true }`. The caller passes `with: { environment: ${{ github.ref_name }} }`. Why will this fail at parse time?

Pick one, then submit.

Sample 3 · Multi-select

Select all that apply: A workflow has 'on: push' with no branch filter and also 'on: workflow_dispatch'. A contributor pushes a commit directly to a feature branch. Which statements about this run are correct?

Select all that apply, then submit.

Sample 4 · Matching

Match each action type to the runner requirement that constrains where it can execute:

Pick up a response below, then click a prompt to place it.

Sample 5 · Ordering

Put the following steps in the correct order to configure OIDC federation between a GitHub Actions workflow and a cloud provider.

Drag an item onto another to swap them, or use the arrows, then submit.

1Use a cloud provider's login action in the workflow to request a short-lived token exchanged for cloud credentials
2Register GitHub's OIDC provider and its thumbprint with the cloud provider's identity federation service
3Add permissions: id-token: write to the workflow or job
4Create a trust policy or role that restricts access to a specific repository, branch, or environment claim
