In an empty document, straight-forwardly, it will insert the ** for you, and you can type between the emboldening asterisks. That is also the non-smart behavior.
Now when you're next to a word, it'll embolden that word. Let ˇ be your cursor, then you get:
hello ˇword →⌘B→ hello **word**
If you have multiple words selected, it will embolden them. That's not new. But now it enlarges the selection to full words (so you don't need to correct if you drag-to-select and release the mouse too early). It also trims spaces, which Markdown doesn't like to embolden when trailing, so you don't get **word⎵** (where ⎵ is a space).
If you select a range in text that already has bold markers, it'll remove these, first. So you can combine existing bold text ranges into 1 with a single press.

I've yet to spend more time elaborating on the help page and adding GIFs and shooting a video, so:

Smart and non-smart behavior both now more accurately detect existing bold/italics, especially when
