Hi,

I made a tutorial quite some time ago explaining step by step how to 
prepare your project for remapping and how you can fix any errors that 
might ocour. See 
https://forum.kicad.info/t/converting-kicad-version-4-projects-to-version-5-remap-a-project/13767

I hope this is of help to you or anybody. If there is something unclear 
or missing in the tutorial then drop me a short comment over on the 
forum. (Best make it a public topic such that others can chime in)
