Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In 'other Kanban boards', lanes on a board can be 'collapsed'/'folded', only showing high-level information. Cards can still be dragged into folded lanes.

I am currently migrating a user-base from another Board managing software, and they would appreciate that feature (essentially the only missing piece for full feature parity).

Describe the solution you'd like
As a user, I would like to be able to collapse/decollapse lanes I am currently not working on. I still want to be able to move cards from other lanes and see aggregate/high-level information about the lane.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are no alternatives considered apart from 'the feature is not there', as this is a UX/QoL improvement.

Additional context

An example of such a feature for another board can be found in a chrome extension for another Deck management software:

The issue is broadly related to #3077 ; However, a new issue was filed as #3077 is comparatively broad, partially stale, and does not propose an explicit solution.

Research direction

Start by locating the Deck board UI that renders lanes and handles card dragging, then review issue #3077 for related context. The change is done when lanes can be folded and unfolded, folded lanes still accept dragged cards, and they retain aggregate or high-level information while collapsed.
