Does Mathcad Prime have "document properties" like in MS Word when you go to File > Info?

At least there is no way to look at or edit.

Which does not mean that some relevant information would not be saved and stored in the file.

An mcdx file basically is a zip file and among others include a folder "docProps".

Here you find two files,

"app.xml" which contains information about program version, bitness, used culture (language), engine version and build,

"core.xml" which contains the revision number of the worksheet and who created it and who modified it last.

So if you spread the sheet you also spread at least the username you used for your login at your computer or domain. Most users without being aware of and in my opinion thats a clear no-go!
