What's the difference between online check-in and seat reservation of China Eastern Airlines?

The difference between online check-in and seat reservation is whether the status of the ticket will affect whether it can be changed.

1, ticket status: seat reservation only means that you have chosen the seat you want to take this flight, but your ticket status is still open for use. Online check-in means that you have checked in for this flight, which is what foreigners call check-in

2. Will it affect whether the ticket can be changed? Reserved seats, if the ticket supports, you can return and change the ticket at any time; After successful online check-in, your ticket status will be "checked in". You can't return the visa now. You must cancel check-in before you can return and change your ticket.
