Install PSv6 into PowerShell Studio 2019

I've gone through several forums attempting to search for guidelines in getting PSS 2019 to run PowerShell v6. I've seen in some posts that the functions are compatible. However, I haven't been able to locate anything which provides steps on installing PS v6, so that it runs as v6 in PSS. Can anyone help me or direct me to the correct place to learn the process? Yes, I'm still quite a noob, but I'm trying to get to the point that my only scripting environment is rooted here in PSS 2019 - meaning that I'm using PSS instead of the PS ISE. With PSS, since I have the entire DevOps suite, I don't have to do as much shifting and searching back and forth between applications. Sapien DevOps suite is considerably more streamlined and is a wonderful base to start from. I apologize for troubling y'all with this, but I'm just trying to figure out the best way to keep my PowerShell environment uniform throughout versions, profiles, etc. Thank you in advance for whatever assistance you can provide.

PowerShell Studio will automatically recognize once you have PowerShell 6 installed. The latest powershell can be downloaded from here:
https://github.com/PowerShell/Powershell

From there, you should be able to see it in the dropdown menu on the ribbon (Home->Platform):

For the Console panel, you will need to go to Options->Console and reset the default consoles:

This will give you the option to select the PowerShell 6 in the dropdown menu in the Consol panel:
