.. versionadded:: 3.24
-MSVC compilers use ``-ZI`` instead of ``/Zi`` for x86 and x64 by default.
-
-When using MSVC C/C++ compilers in CMake 3.23 and below, debug information
-format flag ``/Zi`` is added to :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_DEBUG` and
-:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO` by default. The ``/Zi`` flag
-produces a separate PDB file that contains all the symbolic debugging
-information for use with the debugger, however, it does not support Edit
-and Continue feature in a debugging session.
-
-CMake 3.24 and above adds ``-ZI`` to :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_DEBUG`
-and :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO` instead to enable Edit
-and Continue by default.
-
-This policy provides compatibility with projects that have not been updated
-to expect the lack of warning flags. The policy setting takes effect as of
-the first :command:`project` or :command:`enable_language` command that
-initializes :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_DEBUG` and
-:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO` for a given language
-``<LANG>`` using MSVC compilers.
-
-.. note::
-
- Once the policy has taken effect at the top of a project for a given
- language, that choice must be used throughout the tree for that language.
- In projects that have nested projects in subdirectories, be sure to
- convert everything together.
-
-The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to place ``/Zi`` in the default
-:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_DEBUG` and
-:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO` cache entries. The ``NEW``
-behavior for this policy is to place ``-ZI`` in the default cache entries.
+Placeholder for reverted policy.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.24. Use the
:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
