In the Catholic Church, a saint is someone who has been officially recognized for exceptional holiness and is believed to be in heaven. A blessed is someone who has been beatified, which is a step towards sainthood, but does not have the full recognition and veneration that a saint does.
The five steps of sainthood in the Catholic Church are servant of God, venerable, blessed, saint, and doctor of the Church (for those recognized for their theological contributions). Each step involves a process of investigation and approval by the Church.

It is what happens before a saint is canonized. What happens is instead of just the local church knowing. They tell the world church that there is a new saint. Beatification is one step below sainthood in the canonization process and it states to the entire world that this person lived a saintly life.
