According to your steps, this should be the third step, and the specific model has been opened, so why is it written as 2?

We can call it the hamburger menu (☰).

1. Select a design from the list that appears in the panel.
1. A modal will pop up requesting you to clone (create a copy of) the design you’ve selected.

This will create a copy of the catalog item to a new design, now owned by you.

1. Click “clone” and a copy of the design will appear on your Kanvas canvas. You can then configure the design to suit your purposes.
2. Find your newly cloned design in the list of designs in the left navigation panel.
2. Find your newly cloned designs in the list under 'Open Recents' at the top profile icon.

It can actually also be found at https://cloud.layer5.io/catalog/content/my-designs. I think the logic should be that it can first be found in My Designs, and if you want to find it quickly, you can check Recent. What do you think?
