Help Removed menu icon from home screen - HELP!!

I've just got a new Samsung Galaxy S6 a few days ago. I was playing around with the icons on my home screen and have somehow accidentally removed the menu icon that (think that's what it's called). Anyway it is the one you press which brings up all your other apps, so now I can't access those either, apart from Facebook and Plume which are on my home screen.

The linked pic below (sorry, I'm doing this from on my mobile and don't know how to post the pic directly) is how my home screen looks now. It's the dotted icon between the blue Caller and green Textra buttons at the bottom that I'm missing. If anyone knows how i get it back i would be most appreciative!

PS - I am using Nova Launcher if that makes any difference.

Sounds like the app drawer has been removed, which with Nova is very easy to replace: Long press on homescreen. Select to add widgets. Select "Nova Action" (first thing you see, has an app drawer icon on my phone). Select "app drawer" as the thing you want, and add it to your desktop. If you can't add it directly to the dock, just drag it from desktop to dock instead.
 
Yeah to clarify, on latest Nova version, hold in the screen, tap "Widgets, drag the icon at top left (circle with 6 dots in it) onto your screen, a list will come up and select" app drawer " at top of list :thumbsupdroid:

Now lock your desktop so you can't do it again ;)
Click to expand...
Is there a shortcut for that Hadron or is it Nova Settings, Desktop, Lock Desktop?

Lmao at the chathead msg from a girl moaning because I said I'm on AF :D
 
Cool. I'm sure there used to be a long press on screen shortcut to lock but he's obviously removed it :thumbsupdroid:
I have a physical menu button which contains Nova Settings as well as System Settings
Play Store is my swipe up on app drawer btw :)
