Why each option
To safely explore a new ServiceNow application without impacting a production environment, the best approach is to activate the application plugin on a personal development instance.
Searching for a sales demo request form is for viewing a demonstration by ServiceNow, not for hands-on experience with the application yourself.
Checking release notes provides information about the application but does not offer a hands-on environment to test it.
A personal developer instance (PDI) provides a dedicated, isolated ServiceNow environment for learning, development, and testing. Activating a new application plugin on a PDI allows you to experiment with its features and functionality without risking disruption or unintended consequences on your company's production or even non-production instances.
Activating a new application plugin on a company's production instance is extremely risky and could lead to system instability, data corruption, or compliance issues, and should never be done for exploratory testing.
