APub: Style - no print

[GeirSol]

Hi! I use different styles placed in my document for creating a TOC.
These styles are not meant for print.
Are there any options to set a style to not print?

Affinity apps don't have a "don't print" option yet.
Possibly a workaround: Assign no colour to the style.

If you're asking about using one set of TOC text styles for print and another set of TOC text styles for digital, there is a way to do this.

1. Create the TOC and edit the text styles for either print or digital
2. Click the menu icon (the hamburger icon) to the right of TOC Style in the TOC panel and choose Rename... and name it Print or Digital or whatever you'd like
3. Click the menu icon again and choose Create New... and name it whatever you'd like
4. Edit this TOC style's text styles for whatever you named it
5. To switch between your print and digital styles, just open the document and choose the other TOC style and it will change between your print and digital designs automatically.

Good luck

Thanks! Yes, I'll do that then.

Thanks! But, it's not the styling of the TOC, it's in the document (that the TOC is based opon.)

I see 3 ways of having something that will not print in a document:

1. Assigning no colour to the text makes it invisible but it will be exported in a PDF (invisible but searchable)
2. Placing a text frame outside the page, on the canvas around it, makes it invisible and it will not be exported at all – but it will still be used in a TOC, if it applies.
3. Toggling visibility of a text frame in the Layers panel has the same effects. It can be forgotten before print or export.

Nice! Searchable in the pdf is a bonus.
