Please link to it from the symbol remapping dialogs so that it can be found.

Also, if there will be long form documentation in the user manual, the 
Remap symbols dialog info can be cleaned to something like:
"""
Symbol look up has changed and symbols must be remapped.

Backups of will be made in the folder "remap_backup" before remapping.

If you close the dialog, you must remap the symbols manually.

See http://kicad/manual/location for more details.
"""

Changing the button "Close" to "Skip" would also reduce confusion.
