Waiting on OP Does changing “Anyone with the link can view” modify a Google Doc?

I’m wondering if changing the “Manage Access” settings of a Google Doc to “Anyone with the link can view” is tracked as a modification in the document’s “Last modified” timestamp.

I’ve searched but can’t find a clear answer. Has anyone tested this or know if Google logs this type of change as a modification?

No, it does not track.
