Explanation

In Check Point's multi-administrator management architecture (introduced in R80+), administrators work within private sessions. Changes made to the Rule Base remain in a private, uncommitted state until the session is published. 'Publish database' (publishing the session) commits and locks in those changes to the shared management database, making them the official, enforced version of the policy visible to all administrators. This publish step is the critical action that 'enforces' the Rule Base changes in the management layer. Note: a subsequent 'Install Policy' operation is still required to push the committed policy down to the enforcement gateways, but publishing is the step that formally enforces the Rule Base changes within the management database.
