I think it means to show only how much NEEDS to be shown in the story. Don't tell the reader a ton of backstory if the story doesn't need it. Don't carry out your scenes too long with too much description if your reader doesn't need it. Show only what you must. Stick to your plot arc and follow through. Don't scamper into other territories that don't help the story progress forward, and if you do that you must cut what you wrote (no matter how wonderful your writing might have been in those unneeded passages.) What I always do is save those unneeded parts. Maybe you can use them in a different story, but for the current one---use only what it needs.
