  1. Use the Content Retriever. It automatically applies the request context (preview/live) to the content query and will retrieve unpublished content when viewing a page in the Page Builder or Preview tabs in the admin UI (based on the request URL). It will automatically switch to only retrieve published items when requests are made on the live website. You don't need to use any special APIs or configure the querying based on the request mode.
  2. Use the ContentItemQueryBuilder, which is a low-level API. It requires you to manually pass the preview context state to the query to retrieve unpublished content. You can use IWebsiteChannelContext.IsPreview for this.
