set and remove-text-properties seems to have disappeared from Emacs

I recently updated my MacOS Emacs to

GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin21.1.0, NS appkit-2113.00 Version 12.0.1 (Build 21A559)) of 2022-09-12

The edit menu used to have a Text-properties element. That is no longer there and neither is set-text-properties or remove-text-properties. I use them fairly regularly. Is there a .elc file somewhere I am missing? (Though it looks like these might be in C.)

Emacs (unfortunately, misguidedly in my opinion) removed submenu Text Properties from the Edit menu, by default.

You need to load library facemenu to get the submenu added back:

M-x load-library facemenu

Or put this in your init file:

(require 'facemenu)

For example, it's command facemenu-remove-all that's menu item Text Properties > Remove Text Properties.
