## OpenAPI and $ref Support
If you are using OpenAPI specifications that are split into multiple files using `$ref`, standard processing might not resolve them correctly.
To fix this, you should install the **OpenAPI Catalog Backend Module**. This module helps resolve `$ref` pointers in your YAML documents, bundling them into a single specification for the catalog.
For installation instructions and usage, see the [catalog-backend-module-openapi README](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/tree/master/plugins/catalog-backend-module-openapi).
