How to compress DNG files and overwrite original DNG on standalone app

I have programs that generate full size DNG files, and I would like to use the stand alone version of Adobe DNG Converter to compress those files and then overwrite the original DNG to save on additional steps.  I believe that is an option within Lightroom and ACR but I don’t see that capability within the stand alone app.

 

I understand the risks associated with overwriting originals, but this a unique need for my workflow.

 

DNG Converter 18.2.0.2482 on Windows 11.

Many thanks.
