Problem Description

Ollama model management is buried incredibly deep in the settings: First you have to go to Admin panel > Settings > Connections > Ollama API and then click the tiny download icon to the right of your Ollama URL. This is fine when you know it's there, but it's very hard to find for new users, most of whom presumably come to OpenWebUI to use Ollama models.

Desired Solution you'd like

Have a separate "Manage Ollama models" entry higher up in the menu hierarchy, ideally in the menu that comes up when you click your user in the bottom left or top right, or in Admin Panel > Settings.
