Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, the current implementation of hiding the Document Settings beneath Workspace → Documents makes it less discoverable for first-time and even experienced users. This could lead to frustration and confusion, as users might not be able to locate the options they need to customize their documents.

Describe the solution you'd like
We propose adding a separate entry for Document Settings in the general settings menu. This will make the Document Settings more visible, and users will be able to access them more easily.

Describe alternatives you've considered
One alternative could be to provide a tooltip or a hint about the location of Document Settings when users access the general settings menu. However, this would still rely on users hovering over or clicking on the tooltip, so it may not be the optimal solution.

Additional context
As the Open WebUI application evolves, it is essential to ensure that all settings and customization options are easily accessible. Improving the discoverability of Document Settings will enhance the overall user experience and reduce the learning curve for new users.
