after copying the information,before you begin following the steps

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase correctly uses the gerund form 'following' after 'begin' to indicate the action that will start. The comma before 'before' helps separate the two clauses.

after copying the information before you begin follow the steps

This phrase is incorrect due to the use of 'follow' instead of 'following.'

The correct form should be 'after copying the information before you begin following the steps.' The verb 'following' should be in the gerund form to indicate the action that will start.
