Changing the Window size of the new Windows Terminal

As you've heard, the new Windows Terminal has been released. What I can't find is how to adjust the window size. In the old consoles, if you wanted to change the settings, it would give you a GUI, but with the new console, you need JSON commands. I've tried a couple of commands which were initialCols and initialRows but they didn't work for me, and I have tried to search for a solution for a while. Is there another way for me to adjust the window size or is it just not possible as in this point in time?

Open Terminal's settings.json file in a text editor (e.g. notepad), either from the Settings menu or from disk at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState and add the following two lines (with the numbers you want to set instead of 92x60).

    "initialCols": 92,
    "initialRows": 60,

As noted in the Global settings in Windows Terminal documentation, those two lines should go under the root of the settings.json file, for example right above profiles.

    // A profile specifies a command to execute paired with ...
    "profiles":
    {
    ...
    }
