Running Sitecore in LiveMode

LiveMode means running the front-end site using the master database (instead of web database).
To do this, in the relevant site definition, change the "database" property to "master"

Also, you need to set the "enableWorkflow" setting to "true" to avoide displaying items that does not reached the final workflow.

i.e.
<configuration>
  <sitecore>
    <sites>
      <site name="[YOUR_FRONT_WEBSITE_NAME]" ... database="master" ... enableWorkflow="true" ... />
    </sites>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>
