Blender Launcher does not have the portable folder

Support Basics & Interface

When I install a blender version on the Blender Launcher, I check inside and there were no portable folder near the executable. So is it portable, I am confused, or do i need to manually put the folder portable near the executable to make the blender version I installed on the Blender Launcher Portable/keep the config and other files in that version.

By default, Blender will save data in your User folder. If you want the data to be saved inside the Blender executable folder (i.e in a USB stick), you just need to create a folder there, named ‘portable’.
If, when it starts, Blender sees that folder, then it will use it.

We are planning to implement something for the portable build into the Blender Launcher
