What does '0.75 Stop Diffuser' mean?

How do I assemble the fabric onto the frame?

Is this suitable for indoor use?

Troubleshooting
Fabric does not attach securely to the frame.
Ensure you are using the correct, compatible Manfrotto Skylite Rapid frame. Verify that all attachment points are aligned correctly and fully engaged.
Fabric is not taut after attachment.
Check that all four corners and sides of the fabric are properly secured to the frame. Re-adjust the tension if necessary.
Light diffusion is not as expected.
Confirm the correct side of the fabric (if applicable) is facing the light source. Ensure the fabric is positioned correctly between the light source and the subject.
