Is that possible to trigger the workflow manually?
Say for example that I don't want to trigger the workflow when I save and close my component, but I want to update the component multiple times and, after I feel I am OK, I want to trigger the workflow attached for component.
Under your repository name, click Actions. In the left sidebar, click the workflow you want to run. Above the list of workflow runs, select Run workflow. Use the Branch dropdown to select the workflow's branch, and type the input parameters.
To use the function Start Workflow, you have to navigate to Office → Start Workflow. You can also navigate to Tools → Business Workflow → Development → Runtime Tools - > Start Workflow.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to manually run a Workflow in the Workflow window, but it's an excellent idea! Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment. Add a so-called helper column. It could be a checkbox and then set the Workflow to trigger from the checkbox getting checked off.
Earlier this week, GitHub announced a new feature which allows developers to trigger workflows manually from within the “Actions” tab.
Like Jeremy said it's not possible (yet), but it would also spoil the whole idea of Workflow that is - you can't have unapproved content checked in. In your case, you can edit component as many times as you want. No matter if you just save it or save and close. It will pass on to the next activity in workflow as soon as you will report "i'm done" - that is finish your activity.
