In MadCap Flare (as in RoboHelp from several  years ago...) all content is included in published output unless it carries a condition that has been marked as excluded. 

But... the "notProd1", " notProd2" was just a naming convention; they can be called whatever you like. It just seemed clearer to call them "notProd1" or "excludeProd1" given how Flare's conditions work. If anyone ever has to pick up my pieces, that would be one less thing to puzzle about.   :-)
