What effect does canceling release have on TestFlight?

We have a "version" that is Pending Developer Release, and we wish to change the app's name from <name1> to <name2>. To change the app name, it seems that we must "cancel this release", and create a new "version". However, external testers are currently testing the app named <name1>, and we do not want to impact them. Will cancelling the release also make our build unavailable to testers?

Canceling a release to push another will only affect current external users when/if you release/push another version for testing to them or release a final version to the store, and then only if they upgrade. Their tf build use window is only 30 60 days in any case.
