+### Options
+
+Either `GlobalID::Locator.locate` or `GlobalID::Locator.locate_many` supports a hash of options as second parameter. The supported options are:
+
+* :includes - A Symbol, Array, Hash or combination of them
+  The same structure you would pass into a `includes` method of Active Record.
+  See [Active Record eager loading associations](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html#eager-loading-associations)
+  If present, `locate` or `locate_many` will eager load all the relationships specified here.
+  Note: It only works if all the gids models have that relationships.
+* :only - A class, module or Array of classes and/or modules that are
+  allowed to be located.  Passing one or more classes limits instances of returned
+  classes to those classes or their subclasses.  Passing one or more modules in limits
+  instances of returned classes to those including that module.  If no classes or
+  modules match, +nil+ is returned.
+* :ignore_missing (Only for `locate_many`) - By default, `locate_many` will call `#find` on the model to locate the
+  ids extracted from the GIDs. In Active Record (and other data stores following the same pattern),
+  `#find` will raise an exception if a named ID can't be found. When you set this option to true,
+  we will use `#where(id: ids)` instead, which does not raise on missing records.
