side panel in apps or websites
A narrow area on the side of a screen, website, or app that shows menus, tools, or extra information.

Synonyma
side panel (More general term for any panel at the side of a screen; not limited to websites.)
|
navigation panel (Focuses on menu or navigation functions, not other types of information.)

short side discussion or tangent
A short extra talk or comment that happens while another main talk or meeting is going on.
Vzorec užití:
have a sidebar about [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners may think 'sidebar' always means something written next to an article. In many offices and meetings, people now use 'sidebar' for a short extra talk during or after the main meeting. It is not used for long, formal meetings; in that case, say 'a separate meeting' or 'a follow-up meeting'.
Synonyma
side discussion (Very close in meaning, but more literal and less buzzword-like than 'sidebar'.)
|
tangent (Emphasizes going off the main topic, not necessarily a separate short meeting.)
Antonyma
main discussion (Refers to the primary conversation that a sidebar happens alongside.)

short article beside main story
In news or magazines, a small article next to the main story that gives extra or related information.
Vzorec užití:
a sidebar to [the main article/story]
Častá chyba:

Synonyma
side story (Informal description; less standard as a technical journalism term.)
|
supplement (More formal; may refer to a longer or separate publication, not just a small box next to an article.)
Antonyma

In court, a short private talk between the judge and the lawyers at the side of the room, so the jury cannot hear.
Vzorec užití:
request a sidebar with [the judge]
Častá chyba:
Learners may think 'sidebar' here means a physical object in the courtroom. It actually means the short private discussion that happens next to the judge’s bench, not the wooden rail itself.
Synonyma

Antonyma
open court (Refers to discussion held publicly in front of the jury and audience, not in private at sidebar.)
