After adding the details, click on ok and then save and publish the object.

4. Now open the process and open the respective Action stage i.e., where you are calling the object and have a glance in Inputs tab

Note: If you want to pass the collection data from object studio to process studio follow the same process but in object studio you should create in End stage which will be reflecting in Process Studio -> Action stage -> Outputs tab

Answer 2

First capture the data in the "create quote" tab into a collection item in your process. Then go to the object in Object Studio and inside the Start stage, Add a new input:

In the object, create a collection item and call it the same as the collection item in the process; then use it to populate the "Store In" field in the Start new input as shown in the picture above - OK. Then add any other stages you need in your object and remember to publish your object and save. This is to make the object available to your process in Process Studio.

Then back in your process, use an Action stage to use your object and the page inside the object where you created the (duplicate)collection item. When you run this stage from your process what will happen is that the data from "quote tab" that you captured inside the collection item in your process, will be passed to the (duplicate) collection item inside your object (as long as they both have the exact same name).

To do the reverse, you will be adding an output to the End stage in your object, and adding an input to the Start stage of your process.
