When a coach is solving studies with a student, or a training group is solving puzzles from a book / course in lichess studies, this is done by enabling Conceal mode.

The PGN for that is usually exported from Chessbase, or from the ChessVision AI reader.
The existing cases don't help: Often, the PGN goes all the way to game end, so the game would be seen as completed, and thus rendered from white's side.

So if a chapter is created in Conceal mode, set the orientation to the side that makes the next move that will be un-concealed if correct.

My coach shared this example PGN, where the student is supposed to find black's moves:
