How to remove my Apple ID on my daughter's Mac

My daughter has created her own Apple ID now, but when she wants to use App Store to update some programs, it's my Apple ID that keeps appearing (in grey - can't change). If read many posts, even some that mention Parental Control, but I can't find that section on her Mac at all. Hope somewhere here can help me out. She has Catalina.

Those purchases are tied to your ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by your ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check her purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID. 


Purchase History Review.   


Or you can try to set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
