PPro <-> AE dynamic link failure

I created a project in Premiere Pro. Did all my editing, etc. Then I started AE and imported the Premiere Pro project. I could see all the edits from PPro, etc.

But when I go back to Premiere Pro, I don't see the motion graphics that I added in AE. Clearly, I've done something wrong. But what? And, how do I recover from it?

I should add that if I make a change in PPro, I see it immediately in AE. Just not the other way around. Dynamic Link is a one way street?

I'm thinking that the problem might be that I saved the project in AE using a different file name. Should the AE project use the same name as the PPro project, but with the *.aep extension?
 
I always finish in AE with no need to go back into Premiere but I believe the step you are missing is that you need to import your AE comp into Premiere. What you do in AE won't just be there in Premiere when you go back to it. I think the option to import an AE comp is in the File menu > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Comp.
