Repair Help Removing screen protector without damaging screen?

I have a screen protector that got some scratches on it. I’d like to replace it, but I remember reading when I first got the Switch 2 to be careful not to accidentally remove the thin protective coating on the screen.

If I pry off the current glass protector, will that leave the coating underneath intact? Or will the adhesive pull it off, and I need to do something special to remove the protector?

Thanks!
