The range of services, the overall performance and the provision of special operating modes have been continuously improved. Its superconducting accelerator delivers up to 27000 electron bunches per second in a 10 Hz pulsed mode to 3 undulator beamlines, which in turn can deliver photons to one of two associated instruments. The high electron beam energy of up to 17.5 GeV predestines this facility for high photon energies up to 30 keV. In addition to the default delivery modes, the user community is increasingly requesting other modes of operation such as self-seeding, very short pulses, two colours or customised bunch distributions in the individual pulse trains. We will present a brief summary of the current status of the different operating modes and give an outlook into the future. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
