Spellcasting Level 1 Spell Slots Unlocked: 3 You gain an additional Level 1 Spell Slot. Spells Known: 5 Choose 1 additional Spell from the current Bard Spell List.

It doesn't use a spell slot, meaning that you don't have to make such a big commitment to use it and can use that spell slot for healing, weapon buff or another offensive spell.

Thus, each spellcasting class’s description includes a table showing how many spell slots of each spell level a character can use at each character level.

As mentioned earlier, you can use spell scrolls from your inventory in or out of combat - either right-click on the scroll in your inventory screen and pick the “Cast spell (character)” option, or select the “Items” tab at the bottom of the screen.
