Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, this feature request is related to a problem. Currently, when an admin resets vector storage in Open WebUI, there is no confirmation prompt, and the action is irreversible. This can lead to accidental deletion of documents mapping, document tags, and all context of previously imported documents. As a result, the AI models will lose any context of the documents if they have been imported in the 'Documents' tab, and the imported documents must be deleted and re-imported. This can be frustrating and time-consuming for admins.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to request that Open WebUI adds a confirmation prompt for the 'Reset Vector Storage' feature. This prompt should clearly state the implications of the action, including the removal/clearing of documents mapping, document tags, and all context of previously imported documents. This will ensure that admins are fully aware of the consequences of their action before proceeding.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, Open WebUI could include a tooltip or hover text that appears when the user hovers over the 'Reset Vector Storage' button. This tooltip could include a brief description of the implications of the action. However, a confirmation prompt would be a more effective solution, as it would ensure that admins are fully aware of the consequences before taking action.

Additional context
This feature request is important as these features are only available to admins, and it is crucial that they are fully aware of the consequences before taking action. While this may be a documentation issue, adding a warning in the UI would provide an additional layer of safety and user experience improvement.

In conclusion, adding a confirmation prompt for the 'Reset Vector Storage' feature in Open WebUI would greatly improve the user experience and prevent accidental deletion of important data.

Indeed, it was. I had a lot of ideas compiled that I wanted to make feature requests for quickly.
