Why:

Closes: #46791

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

Updated the Copilot App documentation to match the actual UI labels for Tool permissions.

  • Changed "Ask every time" to "Always ask".
  • Updated "Manual approval (Ask every time)" to "Manual approval (Always ask)".
  • Updated the instructions to use "Always ask, Assisted, or Approve all" instead of "Ask every time, Assisted, or Approve all".

These changes ensure the documentation accurately reflects the application UI and avoid confusion for users.
