Here is the proposed update for the Button block documentation:
Delete the outdated "Width" subsection and its text.
The Button block provides dimensions settings options to change the width, padding, and margin size.
I have also attached an updated screenshot showing the Width control under the Dimensions panel.
Please let me know if any adjustments are needed!

@Rajat1192 - thank you for the edits. I have made changes and added your profile to the props.
Since the Buttons block has multiple panels (list, settings, styles) but now the individual Button block has a combined settings and styles panel, I changed the headings to H3 under that section. This page could use a review: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/buttons-block/
