Travelled between submission and biometrics appointment

I submitted my application to naturalise (from ILR, via Ancestry) a couple of weeks ago, and I have my biometrics appointment later this week. In between my application submission and biometrics, I travelled to France. I didn't list this travel on the application, because it hadn't happened yet. I've also scanned my passport without the stamps from this trip.

My questions are --

Does this trip to France matter since it was after I submitted the application?

If it does, can I just include an attachment to submission that gives the dates & purpose?

And, do I need to re-scan my passport or can I just also include an updated picture of the page with the stamps on it?

Silly issue, I know! It didn't even occur to me it might be an issue until today.

Thanks in advance!

The bio date is not a key date!
