"Runtime > on cell change - lazy" setting is not where it says it is

Explain in Detail

Upon going through the tutorial intro.py I stumbled when trying to find where I could change the runtime settings to lazy.

The instructions look like this:

marimo lets you disable automatic execution: just go into the notebook settings and set
"Runtime > On Cell Change" to "lazy".

However it's not that easy to find the place the notebook settings. They are behind the gear icon, but in the command pallete you can't even find them find them, you can only find the user settings there. (Of course you would need to know where the command pallete is as well.) The thin is, when you then open the notebook settings you don't even see runtime settings, instead you see this:

If you'd then go to user settings you would find the desired setting. But finding the user setting is again not that obvious because you have to click on the gear icon (notebook settings) and then on the other small gear icon within that window.

Your Suggestion for Changes

Change sentence to something like:

marimo lets you disable automatic execution: just go into the user settings and set
"Runtime > On Cell Change" to "lazy".
Or even easier: click on the on cell change button in the left section of the bottom bar where you can change
multiple runtime setting

Maybe attach this image to make it clearer

Bonus: Maybe make finding the user settings more obvious in the app.
