How to set "output to/comp name" to always substitute previously rendered files?

Hello! How can I set the "output to/comp name" in a way to always substitute previously rendered files?
I'm having trouble when rendering new versions: since latest updates, AE adds a number 1 and render a different file. I'm looking for a way to set the default output to substitute files, not creating a new version.
Thanks!

In the Render Queue, select one or more previous renders and hit the CTRL+SHIFT+D to re-render while keeping the same location and filename. HTH

    Thanks, Roland!
    This is an alternate solution I will surely use, but this obligates me to keep the render queue really really tight and organized or  toalways go looking file by file in the render queue. It wasnt like this before, the default was the substitution of the file. This change complicated things. I think Adobe should configure a preset to solve this: simply to choose beetween rename the file or substitute. I understand this is a matter of workflow.

      It's been a really long time since the previous, default behavior was changed. I believe the reason for the change was with users inadvertently overwriting their earlier renders when they were rendering a different Work Area of the same comp.

       

      I find myself cleaning up my Render Queue occasionally - it's quite a necessity regardless of which re-render behavior is at play. It's just a matter of gettng used to it. BTW, you may select multiple 'old' renders in the Render Queue and hit the CTRL+SHIFT+D shortcut to bath render them. HTH
