This is my first attempted contribution to this repo, most of the guidelines seem to focus around code changes, when I just wanted to add a little extra detail to some documentation! If the format I've done this in is egregiously wrong apologies, just trying to be useful as this confused me for a while.
Changes
The documentation for selecting specific tags on instruments is clear about the tags that are dropped, but isn't super clear on the aggregation side (i.e. what do the resulting values look like when you've dropped the tags).
I ended up going all the way back to #2442 to be 100% confident that it is doing what I was expecting.
Therefore, I figured it would be worth bringing that brief summary to the docs as well. I've tried to be concise and clear, but v happy for feedback if I've done it horribly wrong!
