Where did the Essential Graphics panel go?

[Randune23]

So I am working in Beta version 24.6.0 and I am to the point in my video where I want to add some cool mogrts and the "Graphics Template" window is available but NOT Essential Graphics.  Just to make sure I got the terms correct, I opened up my other PP progrma and sure enough.

So why did Abobe make the change?  Graphics are not displayed under the Effect Controls inside of in the Essential Graphics panel.  It is just WEIRD!!!  To edit a mogrt you would ALWAYS go to the Essential Graphics panel.  The "Graphics Template" is just that...a way to look at mogrts on your computer.  But don't try to edit them in this panel.

Like always with Adobe, they make changes but really never tell you why they changed something.  "Someone, somewhere, somehow thought up a horrible idea in a meeting and some decision maker said, "Hey, that's a great idea...let's completely change the way they edit their mogrts."

NOT funny adobe, not funny at all.

This was a horrible UI change. Just terrible. It makes zero sense. Put it back. I'm edging closer and closer to leaving PP behind and going back to FCPX. I should have never left.

I'm also really confused here! I'm trying to change the font, color, etc on all my captions at once. Before I could highlight them all and go into Essential Graphics and change everything right there. Not I CANNOT find those settings anywhere and can't figure out how to change the settings on all my captions at once. I don't want to edit them all individually....

I am having the same problems, I need a video to be ready by tomorrow and all I had with new version was a NIGHTMARE for the captions. I select them, then go to properties and it won't allow me to edit them. I understand the need to inovate and keep up but if something is working well I personally don't see the need of change. 
ADOBE, if you do changes make sure to update the website on instructions guys because I'm already 2h lost trying to figure it out and I'm guessing you're not going to deduct it from the next invoice.
@fernando alves could you please assist us on this issue.🙏

Hey I just got updated to the new version of Pro and encountered the same issue because the essential graphics panel is where I edit from. Turns out they replaced it with Graphics Templates, but it doesn't have the edit in there. You need to go to Windows and select the "Properties" option and the old edit tab will be found there.

Eben with the caption selected I go to the Properties tab, click 'Add or Edit caption' but nothing appears to edit the caption. Adobe appeart to have not bothered testing these updates. Changes for changes sake. Ive been using Davinci this past year and its becoming for superior. Adobe needs to sort out this mess.

Thank you. Adjusting to these changes is so time-consuming—super annoying. We all have projects to do, and every second counts. We are paying for this product as well. I understand upgrades, but they need to be feasible and allow for a better workflow. I don't have the time to deal with these types of changes. Considering switching to DaVinci too.

I also want to add that i too hate the change. i hate it, i hate it so much. it was working just fine, no reason to change it. change it back.

PLEASE ADOBE!!!! Restore the editing as it was in PP24. You have made this soooo difficult for no reason. We use MOGRTs in all of our projects. This change really has caused great difficulties for our team of editors!

Properties panel will give you the same functionality as the Ess. Graphics panel did.

It's like Adobe is activly trying to make the software worse.
