What it checks and how it works
Tashkeel is the set of combining marks written above and below Arabic letters to show short vowels and other features: fatha, damma, kasra, the three tanwin marks, sukun, shadda, the superscript alef and the Quranic annotation signs. The tool removes the marks in the Unicode Arabic block that are combining marks and leaves the letters, the tatweel and everything else as written.
Shadda doubles a consonant and so can change a word's meaning, which is why you can keep it. Removing tashkeel makes the text match unvocalized writing, which is how most Arabic web text is typed.
