under the assumption that the instruments operated independently of one another. In particular, the number of flares observed by larger numbers of instruments is much higher than expected. Our study illustrates that these missions often acted in cooperation, or at least had aligned goals. We also provide details on an interactive widget () now available in that allows a user to search for flaring events that have been observed by a chosen set of instruments. This provides access to a broader range of events in order to answer specific science questions. The difficulty in scheduling coordinated observations for solar-flare research is discussed with respect to instruments projected to begin operations during Solar Cycle 25, such as the *Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope*, *Solar Orbiter*, and *Parker Solar Probe*.'

Introduction {#s:intro}
============

The study of solar flares is a high-priority research area in the international heliophysics community. Understanding the physics of these energetic events is crucial, not only for the field of space weather, but also in the broader scope of astrophysics where similar processes are believed to occur in
