The "not visible in student files" designation is new this semester and I'm not sure how it differs from just keeping a file unpublished?

Christopher,

Here is the short and sweet answer:

Unpublished = not visible to students at all

not visible in student files = allows you to link to the file within the course, but does not appear to the student if they go to Files in the course.

Here is another resource:
