There's an overview in the User Guide, starting at page 295. It could 
use more detail, but it's a start.

That checkbox is explained as, "Loops over all image and player objects 
in stacks and copies any files referenced in the fileName property of 
these objects into the standalone. Then automatically sets the fileName 
property to reference these files in the standalone using referenced 
file paths."

I never use it, but it doesn't sound like it should affect other types 
of files. Even if it does copy stacks, the originals should still be 
where they were before.

Copied files would be inside the app bundle on a Mac, or in a folder on 
other OSs. You can designate a folder name just under that checkbox, or 
let it used the default name "Referenced Files".
