How to prevent Shinyapp.io to change URL every time we republish

I typically publish my app the standard way:

enter image description here

The first time I publish, I get this URL:

 https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp/

But the second and third time I republish I get this:

https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp2/
https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp3/

This happen, even after I delete the app in Shinyapp.io dashboard or Create New Titlein RStudio.

How can I prevent it so that it permanently use?

If you are publishing a R markdown document, I believe you want to update to the latest version of Rstudio which will give you the ability to publish to RPubs (https://rpubs.com/).

When you are publishing an updated Shiny app to shinyapps.io, the Publish UI should show an "update" option instead of the input box to put in a new title.
