 New cops introduced between major versions are set to a special pending
 status and are not enabled by default. A warning is emitted if such cops
 are not explicitly enabled or disabled in the user configuration.
+Please set `Enabled` to either `true` or `false` in your `.rubocop.yml` file.
+
+`Style/ANewCop` is an example of a newly added pending cop:
+
+```yaml
+Style/ANewCop:
+  Enabled: true

+
+or
+
+```yaml
+Style/ANewCop:
+  Enabled: false
+```
 
 On major version updates, pending cops are enabled in bulk.
