Workflow does require a separate license for use. When licensed it allows for review of changes before they are sent out to the firewalls.
With Workflow, changed can be viewed by a second administrator and approved, rejected or modified before those changes are pushed.
Workflow instructions can be found starting on page 25 of the GMS Admin Guide linked below.
