Yes. When students answer an engagement check-in, Signal offers suggested responses to help them explain how they’re feeling, for example to get started on “What makes you say that?”.

They’re on by default. To switch them off, open the session settings and turn off the suggested responses option. Students then write their explanation from scratch.
