Cycle crop overlays?

I'm relatively new to Lightroom, but I feel like I'm missing something obvious as I can't seem to figure out how to cycle through overlays like rule of thirds, golden ration, etc..

I see back in 2017 there's a post about it, but it was apparently quite new back then, is this still something that we can't do in the latest versions of LR CC?  "O" brings up the thirds overlay, but from what I can find this is the extent of it?

    You can switch between different overlays with the 'O' key in Lightroom Classic. I don't think that Lightroom CC has any other overlay than the rules of thirds yet.

    The overlay function has been updated, and LR now has all the crop overlay tools (3rds, diagonals, triangles, golden ratio, and golden spiral). They cycle through using "O" just like PS.
