Can I choose to play puzzles only as white, or as black?

I like using puzzles to train. But the constant switching between colours addles my brain sometimes. I would like to choose only to play puzzles as white for a time, and then switch to only black. After all, when I am playing games I don't have to think about which side I am on!

Maybe this exists already and I just haven't seen how to do it. If not, I would like to request such a feature, please.
yes, it exists, but I thought it only works if you choose puzzles for certain openings perhaps

or you can just lock the board to make it always white at the bottom and do it that way perhaps
Thanks. I can see how choosing puzzles for a specific opening can also let me choose my colour.

I don't know what you mean by 'lock the board'? In any case, it's not just the direction of the board that I want to fix, it is the colour I am playing.

I still think it would be nice, and surely quite simple, to be able to opt for puzzles for only one colour. Perhaps I should request a feature?
I dont think this will help your tactics as much since 50% of your games are as black and you would want to train for those 50% as well
I'm perfectly happy to do puzzles as black. I just want to know which colour I am, and stay with it for a reasonable time.

there is no difference between white and black, you always need to make the first move in the puzzle

I don't see any reason for such feature. It is you making the correct tactical moves, colors don't matter
