Can someone break down how the CSS Profile actually works?

I’ve been diving into the CSS Profile, and honestly, it’s giving me a headache. I get FAFSA, but how does CSS differ? It seems like it wants all these nitty-gritty details about our finances.

Are the extra questions just for institutional aid or do they also play a role in determining merit scholarships? Any insights from those who have tackled it would be super helpful!
