# Cross File Relations

To enable this optional feature, add the `crossFileRelations` element to your [optionalFeatures](../../api-documentation/configuration-reference/optional-features) array in your configuration object.

### Feature Effect

Prisma Util will try to resolve naming conflicts that involve models from different files by providing a dialog allowing you to skip or rename a model. Alternatively, you can use the [relations](../../api-documentation/configuration-reference/relations) configuration property to automate this task.
