Excluding a page/pages from export when publishing? Does anyone have a hint for me?

[define]

Hi everybody,

does anyone have any advice for me on how to exclude a single page from web export/publishing?
When developing websites I like to create an addtional hodgepodge page,
where I collect texts, pictures, comments and wishes of the customer, etc.
Of course, this should not be taken into account when publishing.
Is there any 'switch', like the lock for the layers, that works for the whole page.
Or a certain prefix for the page-name, like when programming,
that makes this page identifiable for the App?

Best and thanks in advance,

Claude

I would copy and paste your supporting materials to another document and save for future reference. Thereafter, delete the supporting page and ensure there are no links to it from your website.

There might be another way, but creating a library of supporting materials and templates works for me.

Claude, there isn't.

The best I can offer is to use a META redirect back to the index page when some lands on it.
If you do not want anything to be seen (or published) of that page then make sure your working is all on a Layer other than MouseOff and that it is not visible.
The other approach is to ensure your material is only on the Pasteboard area and not touching the design page area.

Even CSS or JS is no good as even
<script> document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].remove();
</script>
still publishes the page contents then deletes it.

Thanks Initiostar and Acorn, now that I know for sure, that there is no secret button or function in Xara for this, I must not search any longer, which is a good result
Your workarounds help a lot. Best & Thx, Claude
