How do you work with Essential Graphics libraries?

Goddamn they still confuse the hell out of me and half the time the panel is unusably sluggish. Makes me want to give EG a wide birth despite it being a great concept.

This is me struggling - any guidance appreciated!!

Thanks for the screen recording. As of right now, I believe on Adobe Stock created (mogrts) only give a live preview of the animations. MOGRTS that you purchase from Envato Market and import into your local templates folder will not have the live-preview of the templates.

There used to be the ability to create folders in the Essential Graphics Panel, but that is now gone and now you can search templates by keyword. You can, however, rename and add new tags to your templates, when you hover over one, you should have an "i"  that you can click for info, then you can rename the template and add keywords. So that way you can search for keywords more easily.

Here is a tutorial on how to import and organize multiple templates from Envato at once that may be helpful.

If you want the folder feature back in the EG to help you organize, I'd recommend submitting a request here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form  (the more requests they get for this, the more likelihood they will add it back in faster!)

Thanks.

I still found it absolutely unusabley sluggish. Surely some bad code in the software there.
