Description

**Your Godot version:**

4.7.2 Stable

**Issue description:**

The output panel log used to have a copy icon button (vs. 4.6.1). This button is no longer present by default in 4.7.2 (?). Users now must select all text in the log panel using a mouse, then copy. I thought there was a vertical option still available? If so, how do I set it? The docs do not mention this.

The docs show the old image of the old stable version with the copy button, not the horizontal new layout:

Research direction

Start at the output panel documentation page linked in the issue and compare its screenshots and text with the current Godot 4.7.2 layout. Update the outdated image and document the copy-button or vertical-layout behavior if it is available. Done means the page accurately reflects the current output panel and explains how users can copy log text.
