Describe the problem/error/question

I would like to use Managed oAuth2 to credentials for a few Google accounts. I saw the documentation at Google OAuth2 single service | n8n Docs but I do not see the dropdown mentioned there:

Managed OAuth2 is a n8n Cloud-only feature - it’s not available on self-hosted instances. On self-hosted, you’ll always need to create your own Google OAuth app and enter the Client ID + Secret manually. The docs page you found describes the Cloud flow. For self-hosted, create an app at console.cloud.google.com, enable the Calendar API, set your n8n instance’s OAuth redirect URL as the authorized redirect URI, then use those credentials in the Google Calendar OAuth2 node.

Thank you for the reply. I did set the full oAuth process (it works fine), I was wondering why I do not see the simplified one. Maybe it would be worthwile to label it in the docs as a cloud-only feature?
