-An imported target with a missing location fails during generation.
+An imported target missing its location property fails during generation.
-Prior to this the location would be generated as ``<TARGET_NAME>-NOTFOUND``,
-which would result in build failures.
+:ref:`Imported Targets` for library files and executables require that
+their location on disk is specified in a target property such as
+:prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION`, :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_IMPLIB`, or a
+per-configuration equivalent. If a needed location property is not set,
+CMake 3.18 and below generate the string ``<TARGET_NAME>-NOTFOUND`` in
+its place, which results in failures of the corresponding rules at build
+time. CMake 3.19 and above prefer instead to raise an error during
+generation. This policy provides compatibility for projects that have
+not been updated to expect the new behavior.
The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is to generate the location of an imported
unknown, static or shared library target as ``<TARGET_NAME>-NOTFOUND`` if not
