It would be great if this page could be edited within the ORCID plugin settings.

Hi @emolls,

Thanks very much for pointing this out. I wanted to let you know that we’re looking into getting this page updated and / or linking the email templates directly to a page on the ORCID website instead.

In the meantime, it is possible to update the contents of this page using the Custom Locale Plugin, in plugins/generic/orcidProfile/locale/en_US/locale.po.

I hope this helps, and thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention.
