How does one change the Users directory location in Ventura? I know how to do it in previous versions (I'm running Monterey 12.6.2) but I can't find where to do it in Ventura. I want to upgrade but I have my Users directory on an external SSD and there isn't enough free space on the boot drive to hold the data from the SSD. If it is no longer supported, the upgrade can't happen.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the reply. I noticed it is a bit different in that you have to hold the Control key then click on the user name to get the Advanced Options button. After that it's the same screen.
That's the same as it has always been. I have never seen another way.
Just as described, here: Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder - Apple Support
Curious as to how you did it before.

It still works the same way. The user interface of the System Settings look different, but setting the short user name and home folder path is accessed the same way.
In the past I have right-clicked on the username to get the advanced options. I didn't realize that Control-Click is the same thing. So I learned something new today. Thanks again.
