Z-axis and Pause Printing

Is it possible to move Z after a Pause and before Resume?
I would like to use Z Axis Calibration to inspect a printing after a pause and if it is ok resume it, but when I press pause I can´t move Z.

Use stop/resume buttons instead of pause.

Thanks fot the tip Shahin!
I created a button that stops, lifts and updates the current position, so I just need to resume after.
Now it is working as I wished.

So pause is intended for ? Will be nice to change it into "Pause/view" and have gcode place for pause (move Z + 30)  and resume (move Z-30), just to have a quick view if everything is going fine.

I cannot stop and resume print, because endstop is bottom and performing G28 Z0 will destroy model and vat.

Having endstop on top will be a pain to start print at correct Z0.

Am I missing something?

Pause is helpful if you have some concerns and want to pause a printer temporary. Maybe we should let movement gcode to be sent during pause for the mentioned case senario.
