 When set to **Yes**, the compiler scans all C++ sources, not just module interface and header unit sources, for module and header units dependencies. The build system builds the full dependencies graph, which ensures that all imported modules and header units are built before compiling the files that depend on them. When combined with **Translate Includes to Imports**, any header file that's specified in a [`header-units.json`](header-unit-json-reference.md) file in the same directory as the header file is compiled into a header unit.
 
-Files that have the extension *`.ixx`*, and files that have their **File properties** > **C/C++** > **Compile As** property set to **Compile as C++ Header Unit (/export)**, are always scanned.
