  HCL Nomad supports the mobile actions menu button, which is a floating action button that hovers over a view.

- Managing local replicas
  Use the Replication page to replicate all local replicas of an application or a specific one. Also use this page to delete a local replica.
- Biometric Authentication on Android
  Beginning with Nomad for Android 1.0.16, you can enable Biometric Authentication for your Notes ID. This feature allows users to unlock their Notes ID with a biometric supported on the device, like fingerprint or face.
