Sessions are commonly used for breakout periods in conferences or classes that start at different times during your event. It allows registrants to choose multiple sessions to attend, or limit it to one per time period (since people can only be in one place at one time).

Add a Sessions field
From the Pages screen, click the Pencil icon on the page you'd like to add Sessions to
Scroll down and hover your mouse over where you'd like to add the Sessions field
Click the plus button and select Sessions from the Financial Information column
Set the sessions field settings
Update the label of the field to match your needs ie you might want yours to say Breakout Sessions or Classes
Toggle Required to Yes if you'd like to require your registrants to select a session
If your sessions include an additional charge, you can toggle Financial Options to Yes and enter the associated prices below
If you would like for registrants to make multiple session selections, toggle Multiple Selections to Yes. If this is No, then registrants will only be able to select one session from this field to attend.
Multiple Selections Use Case:
On: Maybe you have repeat sessions that occur throughout the conference and registrants can choose multiple and pick and choose when they'd like to attend each one.
Off: You might turn Multiple Selections off if this sessions field lists all of the sessions available for the 9am breakout session time. Registrants can only be in one place at one time so limiting to one selection would make sense.

Sessions on the confirmation
The sessions will appear on people's confirmation. You can either have it just be the session title or, you can include the description in the confirmation as well (that can be toggled on under Advanced Options). Both examples are below. It is important to make your title descriptive with the name of the session and the time it takes place (if applicable) so people have the necessary specifics.
