@lilyyangadsk ,

From what I understand, in Output Data tool, if the output file format is .csv, Alteryx overwrites the file if it already exists.

As such, if you want to overwrite, you do not have to configure it.

If you have any requirement, please describe.

Hey @lilyyangadsk,

The "Overwrite File" is the default way a .csv file is written. 

Since there are no sheets in a .csv there don't need to be any other output options like for excel.

For csv file,it will create a new file each time the worflow runs.It make no sense if the option is available or not.
