I've gotten org-crypt working, but I have some questions:
+ the setup in the manual only automatically *encrypts* on save, not
decrypts on read, correct?
+ decryption is done via org-decrypt-* -- is there another way?
+ after org-decrypt-*, will the entries be automatically encrypted
again or do I have to use org-encrypt-*?
+ after decrypting, can I re-encrypt with a new symmetric password?
+ if I use a symmetric password on org-encrypt-entry, does the password
apply to the whole file or just the entry?
+ The manual needs the above information on org-[de|en]crypt or did I
miss it?

Yes.

M-x org-reveal (C-c C-r)

They will be encrypted on save as long as they are marked with "crypt"
(or `org-crypt-tag-matcher', if you alter it).

Yes. AFAIK, the symmetric password is never reused. Though it may depend
on your gpg settings.

Just the entry.

You are right. Patches are welcome!

Hmm. During the save of a file with an entry with "crypt" tag, I was
asked for a symmetric passwd. The file was saved okay and the entry was
encrypted properly. After reading the file back in, org-decrypt-entry
asked for the symmetric passwd and decrypted properly. Later,
org-encrypt-entry did *not* ask for the passwd -- it just encrypted with
the previous passwd. Then org-decrypt-entry also did *not* ask for the
passwd and decrypted properly.
What GPG settings would cause this?

Probably https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/pgg/Caching-passphrase.html
