Quick Spanish question

In my app, a card game, the user can choose to change the backing image of the card. In Spanish I currently have that as "Dorso de la baraja" but I'd like to express that shorter. Maybe "Dorso" or "Backup"?

(Don't worry about those other English words, I have translation contracts for those already.)

If i remember right undo in spanish is "deshacer" which translates as "to undo"

The different tenses of deschacer would only shorten it a letter and wouldnt make sense unless its the whole verb.

Also where u have cerrar means to close
"Dejar" means to leave or to quit (looks better to me but fo what you think is best!)

Spanish is a little rusty tho. Second opinions are always a good thing!

I think you could use "el reverso"... meaning the "reverse side". Also, "detrás" means "behind" kinda... I'd feel safer using "el reverso" though. If you were feeling rebellious, you could say "contracara" meaning "opposite face". There isn't a good conversion I know of that shortly means "back side" or "flip side", but those are the closest things that me (and my resources) can come up with.

Side note, "detrás" usually means physically behind, and is often paired with "de" + "______".
