Questions about this workflow

What can this action update?

Update Spreadsheet Properties can change properties such as title, locale, or auto-recalculation settings.

Should a schedule change the title every run?

Only if that is an intentional outcome. State a stable desired value and condition so recurring runs do not create unwanted title changes.

Does this change worksheet tabs?

No. It changes spreadsheet-level properties. Use Update Sheet Properties for worksheet settings.
