It means nothing if you are not exclusive. It's higher piced exclusive collection, something like Vetta. Exclusives are interested in it, because the content is transferred to Getty.

At this point, S+ is not higher priced than S. It only means that the image will also be sold on Getty.

It also currently gives you higher royalty on subscription sales. Again, only for exclusives.

But why can non exclusives tick this box while uploading if they can't distribute via s+collection?
It definitely is a new feature that wasn't there before.
