First, you can only book one Lightning Lane at a time. Once you use your most recently booked Lightning Lane or after two hours, you can book another one, and so on, throughout the day. This means that you won't be able to book multiple Lightning Lanes in advance for the same time slot like the old Fastpass system.
You can only use the Lightning Lane for an attraction once a day. Unlike with Fastpass, you are only allowed access the Lightning Lane once per day per attraction. So if you wanna ride an attraction multiple times, you'll be using that standby line for all but one of your turns.
Know when bookings run out.As with Genie+, individual Lightning Lanes can run out of return times. Generally you'll go into your day knowing what rides you're going to book, and you'll do that ASAP. But some days you might decide to wait and see how your morning goes.
Ride Reservation Refills Aren't GuaranteedFor some rides, Lightning Lane reservations are typically refilled multiple times throughout the day, while other attractions only rarely get a return window boost. It depends on guest demand, which can vary substantially depending on the season or even from day to day.
Missing a Lightning Lane entirely will result in you not being able to book another one for the same ride. However, once the appropriate time elapses you can book another ride. My suggestion is to be strategic with the Lightning Lane bookings and aim to keep modifying to a time you know you will make it.

Genie+ lets you “hold” (stack) as many reservations at once as you'd like. No limits! FastPass+ return windows couldn't overlap. If you had a Peter Pan's Flight reservation with an 11:40 am – 12:40 pm return time, none of your other FastPass+ return times could overlap with that hour at all.

When can Individual Lightning Lane attractions be booked? Guests staying at a Walt Disney World resort hotel are able to purchase and schedule the first Individual Lightning Lane attraction at 7 am, ahead of off-site guests, who can to do so when the park opens.
But you can make both Individual Lightning Lane reservations that you are allowed at the same time, or at least, as fast as your fingers can work the phone. That means you can make ILLs for two different rides at 7 a.m. if you are staying onsite, or at park opening if you're staying offsite.
