You can perform the following operations at this step:

Add Group - you can add a new group of products
Edit Group

Add Products - allows you to add products from another Category
Remove Products
Preview
Update selected
Check 'All is new'

Add Group - allows you to create a new Group with any name and add the products after the group is created

Add Product(s) - if you click to add products, you will see the Category tree, so select the Category and a new catalog will be created with all products listed in it.

Preview allows you to see how the catalog will look once ready.

If you check Is new, change the stock or position, you can update the products from the store using the Update Selected button.

or you can 'Check all 'Is new''.

When all data is correct here, you can proceed with the next step.
