For the old evaluation to be replaced the output cell must have the option
CellOverwrite->True (usually inherited from the style sheet)

You can change it for a stylesheet by using the option inspector on the cell
Styles for Input/Output > Prototype for style: "Output"
(or you could go to the cell expression - Format>Show Expression)

For a particular notebook you can override the style sheet behaviour with
the option inspector and the option OutputAutoOverwrite (with"Show option
values for [Notebook]" - top left box)

The behaviour for an individual cell can be controled by the option
CellOverewrite as for the prototype cell in the style sheet.
