Is there a way to leave some cells editable, but then lock the entire worksheet at once

Hi! Is there a way to leave some cells editable, but then lock the entire worksheet at once. I can only seem to do this a sheet at a time (Protect Sheet). I tried Protect Workbook, but this didn't lock the cells. Given my file has a lot of sheets, I have my fingers crossed that there is an easier fix! Thanks!!!

Highlight and right click the cells you want editable.
Click format cells
Protection
Unclick lock cells
Protect sheet

thanks for answering, but I was hoping to not have to do this with every sheet, so instead of 'Protect Sheet' is there a way to do the entire workbook as one (a LOT of sheets in this file). Thanks!
