Can someone help me with this search console?

On the google analytics there is a "Data Highlighter". I have read this at least 20 times and dont understand it or how it works and what the purpose for it is.??

Can someone help me with setting this up and explain to me what it does or the purpose for it?

Thank You

 

Read this over first. I will try to pop in after breakfast and explain the point of it and how to go about it. Its not that vexing at the end of the day.

Is it a good tool or a must do? or just something you would leave alone?
