Explanation at your level:

This is the first word you learn to say goodbye. It is very easy to use and everyone will understand you.
As an A2 learner, you should use {再见|zàijiàn} as your default. It is neutral and polite. You can combine it with time words like '明天' (tomorrow) to sound more natural.
At the B1 level, you recognize that while {再见|zàijiàn} is standard, you might choose '拜拜' for friends or '再会' for more formal, slightly literary situations. You understand the nuance of the literal 'see again' meaning.
B2 learners understand the sociolinguistic weight of {再见|zàijiàn}. It is a tool for maintaining social equilibrium. You can use it in professional settings without sounding overly stiff, balancing it with other closing markers.
C1 mastery involves understanding the subtle shift from {再见|zàijiàn} to more specific leave-taking expressions based on the relationship's depth. You can use it as a pivot point in a conversation to signal a graceful exit.
At C2, you analyze {再见|zàijiàn} as a performative utterance. It is not merely a sign-off but a linguistic device that reinforces the 'guanxi' (relationship) network by explicitly stating the intention of future contact.
