Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Accessibility issue.

Some action buttons in a left sidebar doesn't have aria-label attribute at all, some of them are very similar to others: it is not easy to recognize a difference via screen reader. Please check, that all icon action buttons in a left sidebar have this attribute and make a clear description for them.

Make sure that this ticket also resolves all descriptions for icon action buttons inside of each dropdown-menu in a sidebar.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the left sidebar's icon action buttons and the icon actions inside its dropdown menus. Check which buttons lack aria-label attributes or have unclear descriptions; done means every such action has a clear, distinguishable label for screen-reader users.
