1️⃣ UI Refresh - New Image Detail Page

We've launched a major UI overhaul for the image detail view, introducing a sleek new design packed with advanced features. Building on our recent "tools" update (see Newsletter #31), the new image view now includes touch controls for seamless mobile swiping and displays the full, uncompressed image in all its glory!

2️⃣ New Civitai Link!

Civitai Link has leveled up! to unlock some awesome new features and integrations, including:

Folder Watcher: Organize your models and LoRAs into sub-folders, and Link will seamlessly keep track of their locations!

Better Vault Integration: Easily manage your files by uploading local resources to Vault and downloading files from your Vault directly within Link! Simple!

Download version 1.20.1 from the Civitai Link icon on-site, or the Github Releases page now!

3️⃣ Cosmetic Shop - Spring Collection!

At the start of the May, we launched the Civitai Cosmetic Shop, and so far, the integration with the website has gone wonderfully! We love seeing everyone’s unique glam choices and the beautiful frame outlines on models and pictures.

To keep things fresh, we aim to release at least two new batches of items each month, each focusing on a unique theme. The first theme we're releasing is "Spirit of Spring" in celebration of the season, and these will be available until they sell out, or the end of the month!

4️⃣ The Friday Bug-Bash!

You may not believe it, but very occasionally Civitai.com has a bug or two! To combat the dastardly bug menace, we’ve instituted a bi-weekly Developer Bug Bash where our Dev Teams collaborate on the most stubborn issues to get them resolved once and for all!

If you see bugs, report them! Check out our Support Page for information on how best to get help, and raise your issue.
