Hello @BitSmithy ,

You need to create a new submission under your App(currently UWP) in the partner center, then in your WinUI3 project, right-click your project name in Solution Explorer and choose Publish->Associate App with the Store (before Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, the Publish menu is named Store), find your App name in the list, and then package and submit it to the new submission in the partner center

Thank you.
