how to sign Android device out of Google account temporarily

How can I - from my Android device - temporarily sign the device out of a Google account? I'm running Android 6.0.1 on a Galaxy Note 4. If I go to Settings > Accounts > Google > tap specific account > three dots menu - there is a "Remove Account" option. But I don't want to remove the account from the device, I just want to sign out of the account temporarily, and sign back in later. I suspect that "remove account" does a lot more than just signing out of the account. I can do it from my PC - myaccount.google.com > "device activity & security events" > "review devices" > click specific device > Account Access: REMOVE button. This does not remove the account from the device. It just signs the device out of the Google account. It takes one tap to sign the device back into the Google Account.
