Spell check and Find and Replace
Manage titles and graphics efficiently via the new Graphics tab in the Text panel. Use global Search and Replace to update text and titles – or just search to navigate between graphics in a sequence. Use spell check for anything with text, whether it was created in Premiere Pro or After Effects.

Gang button for Source and Program Monitors
You can now add a new Gang button can be added to the transport controls for side-by-side playback in the Program and Source monitors. Ganged playback makes it easier to compare sequences. This is not a new capability, but the new button makes it easier to access and provides a visual indicator when ganged playback is enabled.
You can now define which camera view to use as your multi-cam thumbnail in the timeline. Instead of the top track in the timeline, the new default thumbnail is the A camera and you can use keyboard shortcuts to cycle through camera views to preview them and choose new thumbnails if needed.
Use keyboard shortcuts to move poster frame
You can now use your keyboard to batch edit footage with the move poster frame 10 frames forward or back keyboard shortcuts - for example, to show a slate or skip ahead to the action in a scene.
Faster importing and updating of captions
Caption files now load faster and can be updated more easily. After importing a captions file, Premiere Pro scans the file in the background. Once the captions are available, you can use the new Update Captions from Source command to populate the timeline.

Please give users flexibility to move caption objects beyond "title safe" areas.
The revamp of Premiere's captioning feature (prior to this version) no longer allows users to move around a caption object as one would a video object by allowing changes to the position values via the Motion section of Effect Controls. This was a very helpful workaround, but with the recent revamp, Caption objects can no longer be handled like video objects.
There are many special non-broadcast special use cases where precise positioning of stylized captions are necessary.
Also, the position slider values continue to go adjust, even as the caption object has stopped moving.
