    Good feedback. I used to work in advertising and I think that's where I picked up that jargon-y phrase. Copy can definitely be improved there - will think of some better ways to describe it! Commented Nov 5 at 20:13

    @phoebe Terminology usually used here on Stack is typically "right menu" or just "right-hand side". The only section to the right of the actual chat message section that is ever referenced regularly is the place where starred messages appear, called the starboard. So anything that makes sense thematically and is intuitive would probably work, phrasing-wise. Commented Nov 5 at 20:33

    I want to say the common term used would be the sidebar - left or right. Commented Nov 6 at 3:45

    Echoing Phoebe, thanks for this feedback Glorfindel! Confirming we've made adjustments, and it now reads: "This description will show on the right sidebar of the chat room page and can be edited any time. It will also be shown to users when they enter the chat room for the first time." Commented Nov 21 at 19:48
