Why:

The instructions for revoking GitHub Copilot authorization refer to a UI label that does not match the current interface. The documentation says GitHub for VS Code, but the UI displays Visual Studio Code.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Update the instructions in the Revoking GitHub Copilot authorization section to match the current UI.

copilot auth revoke for vs code

Replace:

Click the ... next to GitHub for VS Code and click Revoke.

With:

Click the ... next to Visual Studio Code and click Revoke.

This change aligns the documentation with the current UI label and helps users follow the revocation steps accurately.
