If you check that option in a restartable job sequence. That particular job activity will execute regardless every time the sequence is restarted after failure.
For example a job that builds hashed files. You need to refresh that job because new lookup values keep pouring in. You check the option of "do not check point run" and hence that job will run everytime, as compared to skipping it.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Perhaps a better caption would have been "do not skip this activity"
