THE SHORT ANSWER
Here's the approach.
Beginning with Premiere Pro 25.0, many controls that were in Essential Graphics moved to Properties. Select an item first: the panel changes with the type of clip, text, shape or audio you select.
Properties also allows shared edits across multiple selected clips. A dash means the selected items have different values. Template browsing is a separate task in Graphics Templates; selecting an existing graphic is how you expose its editable properties.
