How to Consolidate Project in Project Manager with Mogrts to keep with project?

Question

Beginner here.
While consolidating my project via the Project Manager (to archive it), I noticed that one particular Essential Graphic I use on my timeline doesn't have a corresponding file in the Project bin. It's a lower third that uses an image. Only the image is contained as a file in the Project view, but the lower third itself doesn't have any media corresponding to it. There is also no aegraphic file for it generated. Now I am wondering how this is possible. How does this lower third get drawn when there is no media file for it whatsoever?

Motion graphics ... mogrts ... aren't saved in bins. Unless you upgrade each to a "source graphic" from the timeline (or whatever they're calling them now). Which is a right pain.

To keep the mogrts with the archived projects, the mogrts need to be stored via the Essential Graphics controls in a Local Folder, and you copy the local folder into your archive project folder manually.
