How it's used
Focuses on the act of extending something that has an expiration or a break, such as a subscription or a service. It is distinct from 繼續, which is a verb-object construction meaning to carry on with an action. When used as a verb for ordering more of the same item, it implies a refill or an additional round.
Examples
Are you going to renew the contract?

Common mistake
Do not confuse 續 with 繼續. While 續 can function as a verb meaning to renew or extend, 繼續 is a compound verb used to describe the continuation of an ongoing activity.
