Stop adding exported photos to LR Catalogue

[jomy10]

Hi

Whenever I export a photo I've edited in Lightroom Classic, it adds it to the catalogue. I don't see the point in this as any edits in the future I would also do on the original and not the exported version. Is there a way to turn off this behaviour so that exported photos don't end up in the catalogue anymore? It's getting quite repetitive to remove them every time.

There is an "Add to This Catalog" checkbox in the Export dialog, uncheck it.
