---I will be using Kleopatra for this  tutorial
Following the recent  released version there were some recent  modifications, before there was only one way to use the notepad which is the external notepad , to decrypt and encrypt using the external notepad you need to use the clipboard implementation  I.e you only need to copy just your encrypted text then decrypt it using the clipboard and vice-versa , although Encryption will need to add recipient ... I will also cover this too in the tutorial .
Recent version  gave slight mod. to adding recipient  and inbuilt notepad also integrated
Here's  the walk through on how to us it

Firststep :
After downloading and uploading your certificates ,there's a notepad button at the header of the application click to start encryption and decryption  using the inbuilt notepad



Second step :
For Encryption::
Input your message you wish to encrypt

Third step :
Still on encryption,  before signing  you need to add a recipient using the Recipients button, this will should be easily seen beside your notepad ,here is where you set  the certificate you're signing with and the recipient you're  signing for ..

From the img below I'm signing for my self as recipient
Note: you can sign a message to alot of recipient  so far you  have their certificate you can do this by searching their Fingerprint or Name...



You can also encrypt  with password too....



Fourth step:
For Decryption::
click on the sign and encrypt, this will sign and encrypt the message then  automatically paste this encrypted message  on your notepad

If you have a message encrypted for you paste it on the note pad instead.



Fifth step:
Click on decrypt after you select the certificate you're decrypting amd encrypting with
If the certificate matches the recipient encryted to, it will be successfully decrypted and pasted automatically on the notepad



If there're any correction,it's all welcomed...
