Is there a way to place text notes in Publisher which will NOT be included when exporting to PDF?

[Horseflesh]

I'm using Affinity Publisher to work on my resume... The plan is to use Master Pages for a basic resume and cover letter, and then use pages to create versions which are tailored to a specific job application. 

It would be extremely useful to include some kind of notes on the pages like "this version is customized for Serif. Sent it in on March 25 2023." Of course, I don't want such text to be included when I pop out a PDF of that page. 

Is there any way to add text to a page, and set a style or otherwise automatically prevent that text box from being included in the exported document?

I'm don't know a way to do this apart from hiding the layer with the text box on. But why not just make a text frame outside the page area to put your page specific notes in?

That is probably the next best idea. It's just easier to read if the notes are on the page, especially if the notes pertain to a specific thing on that page.

You can attach a Preflight Comment to any object on a page, but it won't be visible at all unless you go looking for it.
