Has the function: "Upgrade to Source Graphic" changed?

I’m working in Premiere 2026.3.2 and (for my job) 2026.0.2.

Create Text with the Text Tool.

Select the Text Box in the sequence.

Go up to the “Graphics and Titles” pull-down menu.

Select “Upgrade to Source Graphic”. A “Graphic” element is now in your Bin.

Drag the Graphic element to the sequence and edit it. All good, Drag another and you can’t edit that one. The clip selection jumps back to the first instance you used to create the Source Graphic.

I understand this if you are using the Source Graphic multiple times in a sequence for a Lower Third. If you need a different Source Graphic to ID another person, you can duplicate the one in the bin, bring it into the sequence and update that without affecting the others.

Here is where it gets a little weird for me.

Delete the first instance in the sequence and the second instance becomes editable. Drag the Source Graphic to the sequence again and it is not editable. Clip selection jumps back to the second instance and so on. This seems very counter intuitive and not very productive.

I’m going into the manual for Premiere and see what changed. I’m coming from previous versions of Premiere and I don’t remember working with Source Graphics this way. I’m probably just getting old trying to keep up with these new-fangled procedures.

Thanks for listening.
