This allows you to update and make changes to things in Edit mode, and only publish to the live dashboard (in View Mode) exactly what you want your viewers to see. Sometimes, you might have a report that doesn't need much intervention or needs to be updated frequently, and so you just want to update the published dashboard (Republish) on a set schedule.
