Several years ago, an article in SRN [1] with the same title as this article summarized the decade-long development of superconducting undulators (SCUs) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The article presented those developments leading to the point when the first prototype, called SCU0 and intended for installation at the APS, was under fabrication. SCU0 was built in 2012, its cryogenic performance has been extensively tested, and detailed magnet measurements of the device have been conducted. After verification that SCU0 met all of the technical requirements for APS insertion devices, it was installed in the APS storage ring in January 2013, commissioned in a record short time (two weeks), and became a routinely used source of hard X-rays at the APS Sector 6 ID beamline.
