Trying to use sections in custom page template instead of snippets

[mgibson323]

Hello,

I am working on updating the theme on my shop (Canopy). 

As part of this work, I wish to use the updated theme's contact-form.liquid from the sections folder.

However, no matter what I do, my custom page template insists on trying to use the snippets folder.

The code for the custom page is quite simple, I will share it here:

<div class="container">
  <div class="reading-column">
    <h1 class="page-title">{{ page.title }}</h1>

    <div class="page-with-contact-form">
      <div class="rte">{{ page.content | replace: 'fullwidth"', '" data-fullwidth="true"' }}</div>

      <div class="section">
        <div style="width: 80%; margin-left:9%; padding: 1%;">
        {% render 'contact-form' %}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I've searched multiple different ways and cannot seem to find an answer.  Here is what I have tried:

1.

      <div class="section">
        <div style="width: 80%; margin-left:9%; padding: 1%;">
        {% render '../sections/contact-form' %}
        </div>

2.

      <div class="section">
        <div style="width: 80%; margin-left:9%; padding: 1%;">
        {% render '/sections/contact-form' %}
        </div>

Neither method works, though.

How can I tell the theme to use the sections folder instead of the snippets folder for this custom page?

@mgibson323 - when you use word render, it goes to snippets

Okay, thanks. So what word should I use instead?
