Workflow module provides the following actions:
simple action: change node to go to next state;
advanced action: change node to go to next state; (there is no difference)
advanced action: change node to go to new, given state; (in config, admin may set the new state, en set the 'force' indicator');

IIRC in D7, using VBO , we have the functionality for the following Action:
advanced action: change node to go to new, given state; (in config, admin may leave the new state blank, en set the 'force' indicator');
Then, when using a VBO View with Actions, the user has a form to complete (includng the Comment field).
