On this panel you can align your objects either to the stage (if the To Stage button is active) or to each other (if the To Stage button is inactive), without the tedious work of zooming in and trying to eyeball it yourself. You can also distribute groups of shapes evenly across the stage based on a certain edge location, match shapes in width and/or height, and adjust the spacing evenly between shapes.
