Z-axis setting between prints

I am getting used to my new Mk3 and loving it. But there are a couple of minor things that I hope can be worked around.

One issue is that when a print finishes, the Z-axis remains at the Z height at the end of the print. This would normally be okay if the part being printed is 25 mm or more, but I've been doing some tests plus a run of several parts that are wide and flat with Z max approx 10 mm above the bed. This means that I then have to go through the settings to raise the Z-axis to allow me to comfortably remove the plate each time. Is there a way of automatically setting the Z height to a minimum of 25 mm above the plate at the end of prints?

Maybe adding an end G-code in Cura?

Thanks for any suggestions!

You can edit the end G code,
or you could press and hold the LCD Panel Knob for about three seconds, then rotate the knob to move the Z axis up manually

Thanks Joan, that's a good tip!
I'd do the G-code if only I knew how.
