how do i move icloud photo library to an external SSD drive?

I would like to move my iCloud Photo photolibrary file off my iMacPro and onto an external SSD. Can I just copy the photolibrary to the external SSD, delete the old one and re-point the icloud photo location to the new location? If I did this, will it try and merge the 2 library files and end up with duplicates in icloud photos?


Thanks.
