It means "concise". It means, how can you explain this in very few words, or, only as many as would fit "in a nutshell", ie a small space.

In a nutshell means that, if someone is telling you about something that is really a long story, and they tell it in real short and just the most important parts of the story. Like if someone went to India, they would tell you the most important things they saw about India, not every detail and that would be their vacation to India in a nutshell.

in a nutshell means using as few words as possible:
Well, to put it in a nutshell, we're lost.
a shorter meaning, it means in conclusion.

After you summarize something, you can say, "that's it in a nutshell."
