Smart Annotations

I want to know how to turn this feature off in iOS 12.2 on an iPad mini 5th generation. I am using a third party handwriting keyboard in Pages and want to use the Apple Pencil to insert text in a document. At the moment I have to switch hands or put the pencil down to do this because tapping the screen with the pencil in Pages brings up the Smart Annotations Beta feature. Very frustrating.
