The term is quite common in software:
- MS Excel : "a snapshot of the current layout of all open and arranged 
workbook windows" [1]
- general descriptions [2]

In Neos it's your personal (or shared) area where you can work on 
content that is not yet published to the live site.

It's not a bad term, but maybe the usability people have a better 
alternative...
