All Text Actions are similar for uGUI text and TextMeshPro Text. However, they are different and the corresponding Actions should be used accordingly. Actions for uGUI are found in the Actions menu under UI/uGUI and the TextMeshPro Actions are under UI/TMP.

However, care should be taken when using the **Change All Properties** Action.
