We just purchased Pre Check since it has been spotty in recent months.
I added my Known Traveler Number at Delta's website.
Will it automatically be added to my existing reservations or do I need to call Delta to do it?
Thanks!

Also note when purchasing from nonDL channels it will need to be added. (Unless you've saved it in a profile with that company)

But have you been approved for it yet? Thats when it kicks in not when you paid for it.

While you're at it, make sure your name at Delta is exactly the same as for your known traveller number.
If your name isn't an exact match, you'll fail to get pre-check some of the time.
You'd think, because of the idiotic way that tickets combine your first name and middle initial, that this couldn't matter. It does. I didn't believe this when I heard it, but the required effort to give this fix a try is minimal. I've gotten pre-check every time since.

You dont need to add it manually, if it is in your airline profile and you add your frequent flyer number to the reservation. It will populate automatically (at least for Delta). You can test this by making a reservation and calling Delta to make sure it is in the reservation. It has been this way for some time.

Last time I had to book via Expedia (DL couldn't get a SFO-AMS-JNB-AMS-LAX to price) it didnt. It showed up in my reservations on delta.com since my DL# was attached, but preferences stored in your DL profile only flow to reservation if you're purchasing from DL. (Unless something recently changed) Thus no KTN as KTN not on Expedia profile.
