### What is the Kanvas Catalog?

<Link to="/cloud-native-management/catalog">Kanvas Catalog</Link> is a hub for sharing and discovering best practices, reusable templates, and operational patterns for Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure. It's like a marketplace where you can find and contribute pre-built infrastructure configurations and operational views. The Catalog is a part of the Kanvas platform, which is a comprehensive suite of tools for managing cloud-native infrastructure.

**Import a Design**:


- Access the Kanvas Designer and select the "Import" button in the left Designs panel. Import your own designs from local filesystem or from a remote URL directly into the Catalog. Upload a file or provide a URL for Docker Compose, Helm Charts, Meshery Designs or Kubernetes Manifests. Choose to either import as new or merge into current design that you have open in Kanvas.

Kanvas will convert these into a usable design based on their configurations.
