How do you get upgraded on Delta if you have status? Do you just leave the upgrade setting on or do you have to do something special when booking?

Pray to St. Biscoff the patron saint of Economy comfort (delta comfort doesn't mean it's not still economy) and don't live in a hub city. Not sure if any current strategies beyond people booking Y (super expensive full fares) or just buying up...saw Delta offering upgrades for $300 and it looks like they sold out as there were 9 seats yesterday and none today. Used to have shenanigans to wait for a slight delay to convert your discount fare to a Y fare or other rumored tricks but I've long ago resigned that Diamond only gets you to comfort 40% of the time and first maybe 10% of the time. Even using my hard earned certificates rarely works.

Yeah but why not just ask on here instead of looking around. Come on Bain I know you know better than that

Use the comfort + as your default. You should get the upgrade prior to check-in. They won't notify you so check your seat selection the week prior and you can get out of the middle seat. Then select the first class upgrade and you might get it prior to boarding.

It shoikd auto request or you can manually request in app

First class upgrades should automatically be selected in your app. Make sure you also turn on the comfort plus upgrade. Plenty of folks forget to do that, so you can essentially skip them in the upgrade list.
