Logic issue in PDF tutorial instructions '02_Your_First_Addon'

[Firefox.jco]

I'm trying to follow the 02_Your_First_Addon PDF tutorial and I found a
information conflict in Basic Skin Form Creation section

--> In Step 26. it says: 'Double-click the LevelSkins property, then click Add on the far right, and find the lvl1 record you
created in step 15. Repeat for the level 2 and 3 records, ensuring that the 3 records are in order 1,
2, 3.'... but if we go back to Step 2, from that step through Step 13 we are taught how to create a duplicate of
a single item, named 'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold'.
And from 15 to 23 you are instructed to create 3 items titled 'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L1',
'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L2 and
'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L3', which DO NOT have the LevelSkins property, this same priority (LevelSkins) is only present in the item created from Step 2 to Step 13.

So, my question is the following: Is it to create 3 items following from Step 2 to Step 3, with the same titles being 'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold',
'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials02_Gold' and 'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials03_Gold'?

And from 15 to 23 you are instructed to create 3 items titled 'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L1',
'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L2 and
'yourPrefix_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L3'

^^^ These are the items step 26 is asking for.

which DO NOT have the LevelSkins property

You likely copied the wrong form.

Basic Skin - Recoloring
Step 2 is to make a copy of these forms:
SS2_Industrial2x2_BuildingMaterials01_L1 -> mySkin_Industrial2x2_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L1
SS2_Industrial2x2_BuildingMaterials01_L2 -> mySkin_Industrial2x2_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L2
SS2_Industrial2x2_BuildingMaterials01_L3 -> mySkin_Industrial2x2_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L3
Then change the material for each form to gold.

Basic Skin Form Creation
Step 2 is to make a copy of this form:
SS2_Template_BuildingSkin -> mySkin_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold
This should have the BuildingSkin script on it.

Step 15 is to make a copy of BuildingLevelSkin for each level.
SS2_Template_BuildingLevelSkin -> mySkin_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L1
SS2_Template_BuildingLevelSkin -> mySkin_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L2
SS2_Template_BuildingLevelSkin -> mySkin_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold_L3
Then set script properties.

Step 24 open mySkin_BuildingSkin_BuildingMaterials01_Gold and set properties to forms created in step 15.

Its easy to get confused as these forms have similar names.
