From your Sheets document, head back to Data > Protected Sheets and Ranges in the toolbar.

click Data, then on Protect Sheets and Ranges

Next, click the permission rule you want to alter.

Select the permission you want to alter

Click “Set Permissions.”

Click Set Permissions

Select “Show a warning when editing this range” and then click “Done.”

Rather show a warning? Click Show a Warning When Editing This Range, then click Done

The next time anyone tries to edit any of the protected cells, they’re prompted with this message instead:

The friendly warning that you are editing a range of cells that's been protected
