By default your wallet is not encrypted. To encrypt it with a password go to the 'Wallet' tab and click 'Encrypt Wallet'. Next enter a password and confirm it then press 'OK' to finish.
Your wallet address can be seen at the top of the wallet as a string of numbers and letters beginning with 'QWC'.

To export, go to the 'Wallet' tab and click 'Export private key'. Copy your View and Spend secret keys and store them in a safe place.
Do not share these with anyone!
You can view your wallet balance by pressing the 'Overview' button on the left hand side of the wallet.
You can send QWC by clicking the 'Send' button on the left side of the wallet. To send QWC paste the wallet address of the person you are sending funds to in the 'Pay to' box.
Next enter the amount that you would like to send into the amount box.
When you are done click the 'Send' button at the bottom left of the screen.
To safely close your wallet click the 'x' button at the top of the wallet.
You can easily restore your wallet with your private view and spend keys.
To restore, click on 'Wallet' tab and press 'Import private key'. Paste in your private key and enter where you would like to save the file and click 'OK'.
The wallet will be restored and begin syncing with the blockchain.
If you want to recover your wallet with your mnemonic phrase, it's pretty easy as well.
To restore, go to the 'Wallet' tab and click 'Restore from mnemonic seed'. Enter your phrase and indicate where you would like to save the new wallet file. Click 'OK' when you are finished.
The wallet will be restored and begin syncing with the blockchain.
