# includeDeprecated

Renders a [snippet](https://shopify.dev/themes/architecture/snippets).

Inside the snippet, you can access and alter variables that are [created](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/variable-tags) outside of the snippet.

Deprecated

Deprecated because the way that variables are handled reduces performance and makes code harder to both read and maintain.

The `include` tag has been replaced by [`render`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/render).

## Syntax

```oobleckTag
{% include 'filename' %}
```

filename

The name of the snippet to render, without the `.liquid` extension.
