Debugging side-loaded add-in running in Word

I've been debugging my addins using Word online through the Chrome developer tools. However I would like to start debugging in the Office 365 client and not its web counterpart. I am able to load my add-in manifest and open the add-in task pane. Everything runs fine, but I cannot seem to open a debugger/output/whatever.

I have tried using the windows F12 tool and attaching it, but it never shows any processes running even though Word and the add-in are running.

Is there something I need to configure for this to work properly? Or is there some other way to debug?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Checkout this article to find out which browser is being used: Browsers used by Office Web Add-ins. If Edge is being used, then the add-in will not appear in the F12 tool. You have to use the Edge Development Tools Preview.
