What does "Synchronize newer files" do?

In the Properties window of a repository is a checkbox, that is UNchecked by default, labeled: "Synchronize newer files". I've looked through the help files and documentation but haven't found a description of what this does.

Can you help?

If two or machines are used to edit the files, this setting can copy the newer files back to the other machines from the repository.

For example, say you have a desktop and a laptop with VersionRecall pushing versions to the same repository. You update CreateAccts.ps1 on machine A and it gets pushed to the repository. Machine B connects to the same repository. This setting will copy the newer files back to machine B from the repository when you do a Copy All or use the service.
