Why:

Closes: #46886

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

Updated the instructions in the Reviewing a selection of code section to match the actual VS Code context menu.

Changed:

 From: Right-click the selected code and choose Generate Code > Review.
 To: Right-click the selected code and choose Review.

This makes the documentation consistent with the current VS Code interface.

Check off the following:

  • A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
  • The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
  • All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the review environment.

Updated instructions for generating code review comments.
