The option looks at the overlapping objects and divides them into the most sub-areas based on the selected shapes. Unlike previous options, where you see the visual result immediately, this divide option doesn't show any visible difference initially. To make it even more confusing, it also groups all the sub-areas into one group, so if you were to move them around using the selection tool (V), they all travel together. To separate the group, you will need to Ungroup the selected objects (Command + Shift + G on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + G on Windows) or use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to move sub-shapes around.
To create a compound shape, you can hold your Option key on Mac (or Alt key on Windows) when clicking on the shape modes. The outlines of the original objects are still visible upon hover, which you can adjust their position by using the Direct Selection Tool (A)
