How do I fix 'The document is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage' error in Pages on M3 Mac?

This pops up sometimes when I try to save a Pages document. An answer in the Community was to give Pages "full disk access". I did that but it still happens. Using an M3 Mac with Sequoia 15.3.2.

Move the document back to your Documents folder on your startup drive. Some remotely mounted, or formatted external drives are in the wrong format or may be read-only, and Pages is providing you with a subtle hint. If it cannot perform version updates, it cannot autosave either.
