FLASH consists of a common part FLASH0 (injector </td><td width="150"> AB - superconducting linac), two FEL beamlines (FLASH1/2) and an experimental beamline FLASH3, accommodating the plasma wakefield experiment FLASHForward. The first (2021/22) shutdown was aimed at upgrading FLASH0 and install an APPLE-III undulator in the otherwise unchainged beamline FLASH2, enhancing the third harmonic at flexible output polarization. The next (2024/25) shutdown will focus on the complete exchange of the FLASH1 beamline to allow for externally seeded operation in the range from 60 nm down to 4 nm at 1 MHz repetition rate (600 us trains at 10 Hz). We report on the operation between the two shutdowns which was, to a large extend, dedicated to FEL operation for users and on the commissioning of the new features implemented in the last shutdown.
