Frame Tags - Why do tagged profiles not appear in the Frame feature?

We are trying to build a custom library of existing profiles used in our products.
When I tag a sketch and try to use it as a Frame profile in a separate document, the tagged profile doesn't show up. I can only see the original sketch.
I have tried versioning the profile once tagged and I am obviously using these in a separate part studio to the profile, but no luck.
Any other ideas?

When you say it "doesn't show up", it looks like it is in your screenshot. You need to click on "Sketch 1" not the part studio. I just moved a section part studio to another document and reselected the section just to make sure. There might be a very brief delay when you select the section, but it does work.

Thanks Simon, I can see the sketch that the tag is tied to, but what about adding alignment points and other benefits of using tags?
Do we just ignore the use of tags altogether if they don't link across documents?
Hope I'm just missing something really obvious.
The tags with the alignment points work just fine. They work from a separate document or from the same document.

Ok, thanks. I will keep trying. Must be doing something wrong.
