How can I quickly change properties on multiple text layers?

I have seen this question asked here before, but none of the suggested solutions are working for me.

 

I have about 85 separate text layers in my project that I want to set to the same font, color, and drop shadow style. The solution I have seen posted in other places is to create a master style in the Essential Graphics panel and then apply that style to all text layers. The problem is, unless I am just missing something, I do not have an option in my Essential Graphics panel to create a master style. Has this option been moved or renamed in recent updates?

Two things you can do:
1. Add the same linked style to all of them. This is for workflows where you want to later on make updates to all instances quickly.

2. Select all your graphics and make the changes in the Essential Graphics panel. Font and color are supported for multi-selections, while Transform and Alignment is not

Hi @NBGerman,

Check out "Linked Styles" which allows you the same function. The word "Master" has been removed from much of the UI, but the function is still there and works the same. 

 

Thanks,
