Where does panel menu content get saved [SOLVED]

I use MenuLibre to edit my panel menu
-Show/Hide Applications
-Organize Categories
-Add keyword tags for searches
-Add AppImage Launchers
-Etc.

I was just wondering where does XFCE store these modifications?
.config/???
I imagine this would all save to a file somewhere.

Thank You

Menulibre isn't an Xfce component- its a third party tool. But I believe it stores its changes in ~/.config/menus and ~/.local/share/applications. It follows the freedesktop menu spec.

Oh I know MenuLibre is not a part of XFCE, I just thought that it was accessing/modifying something within XFCE.
I did not realize it was creating its own files to be edited that are then used by Whisker Menu.
Anyways, thank you very much for providing these two paths and also for providing this link as well.
Very helpful.
