--- Comment #1 from Burkhard Lueck <lueck@hube-lueck.de> ---
kwalletmanager master build from sources using frameworks 5.37.0 does not
provide an action "Save As...".

The File menu has two export actions:

File->Export as XML: 
exports kdewallet.kwl in XML format (human readable)

File->Export as encrypted: 
exports kdewallet.kwl and kdewallet.salt to an encrypted file, which can be
imported using File->Import encrypted

If you want to transfer your secrets to another device or computer use the
actions in the File menu. With Export as encrypted wallets can be exported into
an encrypted archive file. Importing this archive file with Import encrypted
you have to provide the master password of the wallet. 

Alternatively a .xml file can be used for transferring a wallet. Keep in mind
that all secrets are stored as plain text in this file.

The documentation could be improved here, e.g adding:
* Export as encrypted exports the *.wallet and *.salt file
* Export as XML exports only the *.wallet file, not the *.salt file. Importing
the xml file generates a new random *.salt file
