Designer Cloud: Unable to Create New Output File

NadiaMazlan25

I’m currently using Designer Cloud, and I noticed that I only see the option to Replace Existing Dataset when generating output. I’d like to create a completely new output file instead, but that option doesn’t appear.

 

Does anyone know why this happens or if there’s a setting I need to adjust to enable creating new files?

If the dataset already exists, then you can only replace it... click on your connection (the one that's blacked out) and you can output a new file from there
