When to use the Publish checkbox?

This checkbox appears in a dialog box when you are either uploading a document to your web site's own document store or when uploading a photo into a gallery section. See first and second screenshot.
You'll notice a Publish checkbox in the dialog box. This is *only* to be used if you want that document or photo displayed in a Publications section (you may have called it Newsletters), see third screenshot showing a Publications section.
So be careful that you don't check the box to make sure, if you have a publications section type, you keep it for your newsletters, presentations or other documents that users can download.
If you have previously checked the Publish checkbox for some files, you can go to your site's document store in Administration -> Documents, select the pencil against the file you would like removed from Publications. The same dialog box appears with the details filled in but now deselect the Publish checkbox and select Update. It will be removed from the Publications section.

Something that may be relevant to you... if you want to add a document in your document store as a link from one of the generic pages on your site, read this blog item:
