Hi Ilmari;

I prefer talking about a "Sidepanel" ("Hliðarspjald" in Icelandic) and 
if a "deck" is a part of such a "Sidebar", then I'd say a "Sidepanel 
section" or a "Sidepanel tab".
I guess the nomenclature bringing "decks" into LO stems from Nextcloud 
or similar webified environments (deck/board/stack/card) and must be 
related to cardgames, but I may easily be wrong.

Best regards,
Sveinn í Felli
