Instead of explaining something in detail in a long drawn out manner, a person will give a short answer and say there it is in a nutshell.

'That's it in a nutshell', means that you are being given a very abbreviated and condensed version of something. But it doesn't really relate to asking you to wait!

"nutshell
c.1205, nute-scalen; see nut + shell. Fig. use with ref. to "great condensation" (1579) is in allusion to a copy of the Iliad, mentioned by Pliny, which was so small it could fit into the shell of a nut."
