Can I include alll .bib file entries into text, even if references are missing from main text?

Question

I have written my thesis using Overleaf and managed references using biblatex - all worked fine.

Now I have to make a 15-20 page-long "executive summary" with virtually no equations nor references in this second text. At the end of this "executive summary", I have to provide a "List of main literature used in the thesis".

Is there a way to do this automatically from my original .bib file, using some arguments to the

\usepackage[backend=biber,style=numeric]{biblatex} or \printbibliography commands?

I am aware of the "manual" option available through \begin{thebibliography} \end{thebibliography} but I hope there is a simpler way.

I have already searched this site and biblatex package reference pdf, with no success.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Probably you are interested in the \nocite command. You can either use \nocite{*} to include all references of a .bib file or \nocite{<key>}(See page 110 of the biblatex documentation). — leandriis, Sep 08 '19 at 09:45
Yes, thank you, it works. Sorry I cannot mark your comment as answer solving my question..... I was searching the biblatex documentation for wrong keywords. — Tomas, Sep 08 '19 at 09:54
Instead of writing up an answer, I'd suggest to close your question as a duplicate to one of the following: Include a reference in the bibliography without citing it in the text or Using BibTeX to make a list of references without having citations in the body of the document? Would you agree? — leandriis, Sep 08 '19 at 09:57
OK, I agree, thank you. (I don't have the priviledges to do this). — Tomas, Sep 08 '19 at 10:02
