It is surprisingly difficult to find a concrete explanation of symplecticity. It seems like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_integrator has links to all the relevant information, but even there the conserved quantity is given as a differential form dp /\ dq, which makes me wonder whether you can even compute it for individual points, or whether you have to integrate over the whole space.
