Games Add On - Players can see when you add something

I just noticed that when I add an adventure to an existing game, my players get a note on their launch page saying "XYZ has been added" [very minor Ghosts of Saltmarsh SPOILERS below] I am playing Ghosts of Saltmarsh, so when I add the adventure "The Final Enemy" it is definitely suggesting something to them. (apart from the fact that its not nearing the end of the game).  Last week I added "Danger at Dunwater" so now they will be specifically looking for clues about Dunwater. Is there a way to turn that off?

I just verified that behavior.  Wow, that does seem like a bit of a problem.

I've noticed this too, confirmed. Happens with Add-Ons and other highlighted message that appears on Game Details page. Similarly, it seems Players are seeing the recent warning-highlighted message on Game Details page about a Converter being offered for switching the lighting.
I believe on the home page there is an “x” by the add-on note. Click that to delete it. I THINK it clears it for players as well...
Hi folks, I have submitted a ticket to the devs for further investigation. Thank you for catching this and bringing it to our attention!

Thanks Drespar.
Thanks, Drespar. I noticed this, too, and it rather gave the game away about where the characters were heading next.

So the response I got back from submitting the ticket was .... we cant turn this feature off .  WTF!! The Roll20 suggestion for every time you want to include an add on go through this procedure:              duplicate the game,      boot your players from the game,      add the "add on"      re-invite the players back to the game.... Seriously???
