Setting up a simple notification

I want to set up a notification for when anything on a sheet changes. This used to be very simple thing to do but since these have now changed to Workflows the process doesn't appear to be so straightforward anymore. I keep getting an error message saying the workflow needs editing.

Hi,

What is the error message? Have you checked the Permission settings?

It's probably your settings. I'll get back with some screenshots.

Here you go! It sounds like it's your Personal Settings that need to change. (See attached)

Hope that helps!
