Oh and two more footnotes:
*10 PM assumes someone has AS status. Otherwise it's within 6 hours of the new flight departure time. $25 to do this if not MVPG+ or on a full Y fare, or shuttle market (SEA-GEG/PDX)
*Your original booking class is not needed. As long as Y=1 you can sdc to the flight

That's not how SDC has worked since it's really turned into "same day change". You don't get the ability to change flights until SDC is open at 10 pm (for elites) or within 6 hours (non-elites).

How do you do it once you are checked in online? Just go into the reservation and hit change after 10 pm?

No, you need to go through the online check-in process again if you've already one it. During one of the steps starting at 10pm the night before for MVPGs, not sure when it shows up for others, it'll have a link. It says something along the lines of "change to earlier flight" and "change to later flight." I believe it's the step after the one where you can enter/change a frequent flier number, but it's been a while since I've done it.

You never just change the reservation and get SDC. That's not how it ever worked. It's always been part of checkin.
