What happens to iCloud library after you restore the old library on Mac?

I have known problems with iDevices displaying thousands of 'new' images, even if they are all already in the library of Photos on Mac and on iCloud photo library, I posted on here also.

Through the various attempts to stop these 'new' photos to reappear again and again, I found myself with several copies of the thousands of images in the pictures on Mac and therefore in iCloud (i.e. they synchronized). Rather than go to the library and find it manually and remove these duplicates, I would just return the photo via Time Machine library to its prior state of duplicates. After I restored the local library there will be no duplicates and have much less images than what is in the iCloud, photo library.

My question:

'Local library restored' rule and the iCloud library will correspond to the now smaller local library? Or all of the duplicate to my local library files will be synchronized? Put an another passerby, did restore Time Machine also "informed" (impact) the library to match the local library restored iCloud?

Restores the local library AND remove all images in iCloud and then re-upload a 20 K library to iCloud the only way?

Thanks in advance.

First, you will need to erase your iCloud library in iCloud, I'm afraid, Pope, prior to activating the library restored as a your photo library system.

I only tested once. After the restoration of the library of Time Machine, the library was no longer recognized as the photo library of the system, even in the same location on disk. That caused the iCloud photo library to deal with the library as an additional library must be downloaded to iCloud. The library was merged to the existing library, so older duplicates have been removed.
