In google play store,I have enabled timed publishing.

when I uploaded new APK in production , I see "Publish Now" button.

What does "Publish Now" will do in case of timed publishing , will it only submit for review and wait for me to press "Go Live" ?

(or) Will it make the binary available to public,once the review is complete ?

It will publish it for review, and when review is finished you can publish it from the Go Live button.

PS: According to this question If you publish new build before the old ones are distributed you need to manually deactivate the older ones.
