The audacity Support website in its Missing Features section has incorrect (out of date) information about the cut/copy/paste buttons:
https://support.audacityteam.org/troubleshooting/missing-features

It states there:

The Cut/Copy/Paste buttons have been removed in version 3.2.0. You can access the functionality in the following ways instead: ...

This was true for 3.2.0 (and 3.2.1 and 3.2.2) but in 3.2.3 they were reintroduced in the new, hidden by default, Cut/Copy/Paste toolbar. And for 3.2.4/3.3.0 the additional Delete button has been added.
