Better Integration of Multiple Versions of a Model

Currently, each version of a model has a separate gallery, accessible by clicking on the version. There are a few problems with this behavior. Older versions are essentially buried on the site, which suppresses their usage, reduces general user engagement, and hides content. Civitai has a huge amount of content that is very hard to find due to issues like search functionality that only targets the top version, a problematic design for multiple versions, and user-unfriendly accessibility for older versions.

In my opinion, the gallery filter for a model should include a switch to allow users to show images for either the currently selected version or all versions. By default, the filter probably should be set to show images from all versions, and every user will be able to decide whatever they prefer to use.

This change would allow creators and users to better understand which versions people are using, even if they are not the latest. It would help users discover more content on the site and make it easier for creators to get feedback on all versions of their models.

Using the existing filtering feature for galleries would allow the option to use both single-version galleries and combined galleries.
