Service fabric increase stateless service instance without re-deployment

Question

Is there a way to increase number of instance for stateless service on Service Fabric please? We can update the application manifest to increase the number however that will require a deployment. Is there a way to do that via Service Fabric Explorer or Powershell please?

Thank you very much Best regards
