Changing Public to Private Networks and Vice versa

With Windows 10 version 1803 can we no longer change from private to public networks (and vice versa). In previous version this could be accomplice from the "Network and Sharing Center" dialog. But that option doesn't seem to exist any longer so all my
connection (wifi) are Public now.
