WebStorm: Possible to transpile of TypeScript File only when saving

I'm using JavaScript and TypeScript in WebStorm and I'm concerned about WebStorm's transpile behaviour. It transpiles every time I made a change in the TypeScript files.

Is it possible to change that transpile mode, so that transpiling is only happening when I'm saving?

If you are using built-in Typescript compiler service rather than a file watcher, uncheck 'Track changes' in Settings | Languages & frameworks | TypeScript and use 'Compile All' action to run the compiler explicitly

According to Webstorm documentation, You can change the TypeScript transpiler compile behavior by unchecking the immediate file synchronization checkbox in Preferences > Tools > File Watchers > TypeScript dialog window.

enter image description here

If the TypeScript File Watcher isn't listed in the File Watchers list, you need to create it.
