In this step-by-step tutorial, I will guide you through creating a scrollable text area in Unity using the Scroll Rect and TextMeshPro. You don't need to know how to code for this one!
First, I'll show you how to resize the Scroll View and set up the background graphic. Then, I'll walk you through adding a TextMeshPro UI component to the Content Gameobject and using the Content size fitter component to make the text scrollable. You'll also learn how to adjust the margins and the vertical scrollbar and create a mask and image component to give the scrollbar the shape of your text box.
Scroll rect as overflow mode does not work since quite a while, read up on it here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/textmeshpro-scrollrect-overflowmode.533758/
