Simply change names

Hi everyone,

There are many layers with different fonts, sizes, and colors. How can the names be changed at the same time by editing just one layer?

Thanks for your time.

You can do it via variables, as shown here:

However using Edit > Find and Replace Text... with the "Search all layers" checkbox active is the quicker/pragmatic alternative.

Thanks so much Stephen.

I converted a Text box to a Smart object.

Is possible to turn it back to a Text box? (it's an old file so can not be undone)

On a relatively new version of Photoshop, you can use Layers > Smart Objects > Convert to Layers

On older versions, a script can automate decomposing a SO back to layers (where possible), search for Unsmart Object scripts on the web.
