How do hit dice work with multiclassing?

When multiclassing in D&D 5e, you gain a hit die for each level of a class you take, creating a pool of different dice types that you track separately (e.g., d10s for Fighter, d8s for Cleric). At the end of a short rest, you choose which hit die type to spend from your pool, roll it, add your CON modifier, and regain that many hit points, choosing the most optimal die for the damage you need to heal.
