Anyway to export an image with its "Version" edits?

I'm curious to know if it's possible to export an image or image work file in Lightroom CC so that I have the image, along with the multiple "versions" I created of the image in Lightroom CC? I'm sort of thinking how in Photoshop you can export the final image but you can also save a "working file" which contains all the layers of the image. My main goal is to clear up some space on my Lightroom CC Cloud but I don't want to lose my image versions/edits and would like to save the image and the versions on my external drive. I'm working off a Mac with M1 processor.

 

Also side question. Any recommendations on how I can make better use of cloud space? I'm assuming this is a sub-topic related to file organization?

No, there's no option to export a single file containing all the versions as "layers". In the latest version of the Lightroom desktop app (version 5.2) there is the option to export all named versions of an image as a set of individual jpeg files, but that's all there is at this time.

Understood. thank you. So in terms of freeing up cloud space, what's the best way to go about that? Just save the best versions of the images I currently have on my lightroom cloud and then delete the cloud image?

Versions are sets of edits (stored as XMP text), not copies of your image. So no matter how many versions you have, there is still only one image.
