Exclamation SW Change Flights

I typically change/modify my existing reservation when SW reduces fares.

However, today when I click change to select a new flight, I see this message for the first time. What does it mean? My flight is currently booked with points.

"Before you modify

Modifying a fully refundable fare will result in the fare becoming NON-refundable. To ensure your new ticket is refundable, cancel your existing reservation, request a refund of the refundable balance, and create a new reservation. Non-refundable fares may be applied toward future travel on Southwest Airlines for the originally ticketed Passenger only.

The new reservation inherits the earliest expiration date from any funds applied from the old ticket. Therefore, the expiration date of your new reservation and all associated funds may be less than 12 months. Your new expiration date will be displayed on the confirmation receipt sent to you."
