How can I modify export compliance on App Store Connect?

I realised I ticked the wrong answer on the app store connect, for an app I am willing to submit. I can't find a way to modify it on the website, can someone help me ?
Upload a new version of the build, then modify it.

AppStore Connect - Is IDFA gone?

I'm uploading a new build of my iOS app and as always, I was going to check the IDFA options but I can't find them anywhere! Did something change?
It seems after requirement that apps use IDFA must ask users permission, Apple doesn't ask developers to select whether app use IDFA in App Store connect anymore.
So just submit app and don't care about it. I have submited an app successfully.

Native way to inform user there is a mobile app?

Often when viewing a website on a mobile device you'll get a notification that a mobile app is available, or if you already have the app downloaded you'll have the option to open the URL in the app.
Is there a native way to do this or are these notifications always custom?
When users click on a link or download a file and the suggestion pops up to open the respective app, that's called deep linking. iOS labels it as Universal Links and Android uses App Links.

Branchio Universal Deeplink redirecting to safari and shows popup to launch the application even app is installed in iOS 13.3.1

Even though the Application is installed in the iPhone, tapping Branchio universal deep-link redirecting to safari and shows a popup to launch the application.
Expected: if the application is already installed, tapping deep link should launch the application.
Pre- requests:
OS: iPhone iOS 13.3.1
Release build in Appcenter
Set custom URL to https://install.appcenter.ms/app (Appcenter)
Generate the Universal deeplink
Steps to reproduce:
Generate the Universal deep-link
Using the deep-link install the application
Again Tap on the same deep-link will redirect to Safari and popup alert with CANCEL and OPEN options
Tap OPEN in safari to launch the application
This is an expected behaviour where Apple prompts the user first time if to open the app. Only if universal links are implemented, it does not ask for the second time. Our AASA validator tool (https://branch.io/resources/aasa-validator/) shows the AASA file to validated correctly but while testing on the install page of your redirected website, it is showing a 404 error. So, we are unable to replicate this on our end to check further.
Could you please share your app store link so as to help us out here.
Also, would request to check our documentation here ( https://help.branch.io/developers-hub/docs/ios-troubleshooting#section-validate-if-aasa-file-successfully-downloaded ) so as to confirm if the device is receiving the generated AASA files. This is a known issue with Apple for iOS 13.x+ where the AASA files do not get ingested into the device and causes the link redirection to show a prompt or a fail.
