For example, all instances of …/oldLib/oldCell/oldView are renamed to …/newLib/newCell/newView.

Of New Copies Only

This section updates and validates technology data after the configuration is copied.

Re-reference customViaDefs

Re-references customViaDefs to cellviews in the destination library.
