My ceiling had a leak do I send, apply this mesh, apply compound, sand then paint in that order?

Hello, 1. Select patch size 1/2” larger than the hole on all sides. 2. Clean repair surface area removing any loose debris. Wipe away dust. 3. Peel away patch liner and apply patch to surface. Center patch over the hole. Press down firmly on all edges. 4. Using taping knife, apply compound. Feather around edges, concealing the patch. Allow to dry. 5. Sand repair site lightly, then apply a thin finishing coat of compound. Allow to dry. 6. Sand to a smooth finish. Additional finish coats may be applied as needed. 7. Prime and paint.
