From live connection to composite model - power bi settings

Hi everyone

I am working with a Power BI file that has a live connection. I want to change it to a direct query or composite model.

When I click on Get Data everything is greyed out as in the picture below. I know I have to change setting in the settings menu to enable composite models, but I can't find it. 

Does anyone know where I need to click?

You should get the option to modify the model in the bottom right, unless the dataset creators have toggled to option off on their side.

Looks like that option is gone. Any idea what's the latest way. Thanks!
No luck searching all over internet yet.
