{% note info "Item 8.4.1 of the Game Requirements" %}

Links in texts and media content are [integrated via SDK](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/sdk/sdk-other-games.md) and lead to your games in the Yandex Games catalog. Navigating to other games does not interrupt the gameplay, and [navigation elements](*examples_navigation) are obvious to users.

{% endnote %}

## Moderation Criteria {#criteria}

- Links are integrated via the SDK and lead to your games in the Yandex Games catalog.
- It is clear from the navigation elements where they will take the user.
- Navigation to other games is only possible outside of active gameplay (for example, in the menu or between levels).
- When switching to other games, the current game tab does not close.

## Testing Methodology {#verification}

To ensure that the links are embedded through the SDK:

1. Clear the [cache](https://yandex.com/support/common/browsers-settings/cache.html){.external}.
1. Open the game with the [debug panel](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/console/debug-panel.md):

   <!-- source: en/_includes/requirements/start-debug-panel.md -->
   {% list tabs %}

   - Using the developer console
       1. Open the [Yandex Games console](https://games.yandex.com/console){.external}.
       2. Select the game you need.
       3. In the top left corner, click on **Open with debug panel**.

   - Using the address bar
       1. Open the required game.
       2. Add `&debug-mode=16` to the end of the browser's address bar.

          Example link: `https://yandex.com/games/app/XXXX?debug-mode=16`, where `XXXX` is the unique game ID.

   {% endlist %}
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/requirements/start-debug-panel.md -->

1. In the bottom left corner of the screen, click the button **SDK mocks** ⚒️ and select the option 🔗 **Game links mock is enabled**.

   {% cut "How it looks" %}

   ![](../../../_images/requirements/8-4-1-links-to-other-games/disabled.webp =250x)

   {% endcut %}

1. Wait for 5 seconds.
1. Restart the game.
1. Follow the link to another one of your games.

   If the API is used correctly, a static page will open:

   ![](../../../_images/requirements/8-4-1-links-to-other-games/static-page.webp)

   If a different page opens (for example, a page with other games), it means the links to other games have been added incorrectly. In this case, refer to the [instructions for adding links](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/sdk/sdk-other-games.md).

{% cut "Example game check" %}

@[](https://runtime.strm.yandex.ru/player/video/vplvgstg4adnxkpzytqg?autoplay=0&mute=0)

{% endcut %}
