   - Note: If you have [environment variables](/docs/build/environment-variables) in your project, dbt Cloud environment variables must be prefixed with `DBT_ `(including `DBT_ENV_CUSTOM_ENV_` or `DBT_ENV_SECRET`). Follow the instructions in [this guide](https://docs.getdbt.com/guides/core-to-cloud-1?step=8#environment-variables) to convert them for dbt Cloud.
 - Each upstream Core project has to have a production [environment](/docs/dbt-cloud-environments) in dbt Cloud. You need to configure credentials and environment variables in dbt Cloud just so that it will resolve relation names to the same places where your dbt Core workflows are deploying those models.
 - Set up a [merge job](/docs/deploy/merge-jobs) in a production environment to run `dbt parse`. This will enable connecting downstream projects in dbt Mesh by producing the necessary [artifacts](/reference/artifacts/dbt-artifacts) for cross-project referencing.

This will hydrate dbt Cloud with additional metadata and enable features in [dbt Explorer](/docs/collaborate/explore-projects) that will benefit both teams, including [Column-level lineage](/docs/collaborate/column-level-lineage).
