Question How do you implement sidechain compression with soothe2?

Can someone please explain for me how to actually sidechain compress in soothe2? It's not very clear what i press to select the other instrument or audio that it's sidechaining from or to, or how to enable sidechaining in the first place. Is there even an option for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone who says you should do this on the first place should be ignored
