How to play as black using Finish with Computer?

If I set up a position using Analysis where I want to be black I can do it. However, when I select Finish with Computer it always flips it so that I am playing white. How do I get it to let me play black please? 

The double arrow icon at top right of the board puts black at the bottom, but I’m still playing as white. It’s probably something obvious but I can’t see it.

Thank you.

I think it depends on which side is on move when you click it.

Ah, thanks. That wasn’t obvious to me.  👍🏻

If it doesn't start the way you want, click New Game and Rematch and it will start colors flipped.
