The process with TemplaVoila is a little bit different but not so much.

As for any other TV template, you have to somehow enclose the text you 
wish to replace in your template. Eg.

<p>Copyright ... blablabla</p>

You should (but must not) give an id to the enclosing item. This helps 
TV to keep the mapping work even if you modify your template. Eg.

<p id="copyright">Copyright ... blablabla</p>

Then in TV itself, you create a new item in your datastructure. Element 
type is typically "Element" and editing type is TypoScript Object Path. 
Upon saving you get a new textbox showing the Object path. Change the 
default value to something meaningful such as lib.copyright. Save again 
and map it the standard way to your <p> tag.

Now you just have to provide the TS for your copyright:

lib.copyright = TEXT
lib.copyright.value = blablabla

That's it!

The same is true for the menu (even if there is a wizard for this), a 
breadcrumb menu, ...
