Hi
This is the first time I am rolling contracts. Do I just change the symbol on the chart or does this occur through an automated process once rollover gets triggered?
Thanks

You will get a notice when you first open a chart that it needs to be rolled over and you can click that message to rollover the chart. This will occur based on either on the date, or based on Volume depending on your setting for the following:
General Settings Window: Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol)

If you want to rollover prior to that message (for whatever reason) then select "Chart >> Perform Futures Symbol Rollover". Refer to the following:
Chart Menu: Perform Futures Symbol Rollover (Chart menu)
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
