This PR enhances the preview functionality to redirect users to the published URL when exiting preview mode, instead of the draft preview URL. If the document is published, users are redirected to the live URL; if unpublished, they're redirected to a 404 page.
Key changes:
- Added logic to fetch published URLs from the DocumentService API
- Modified exit preview behavior to use published URLs when available
- Updated UI elements to handle async operations properly

Description
Currently, when a user exits preview mode, they will be redirect to the frontend of the website with the page URL containing the previewed page's GUID/key. This PR updates the logic to use the page's published URL.
How to test?
When viewing a document in preview mode, press the "End" button and notice the destination of the redirected URL in the browser address bar. If the document has a published state, it will redirect to the published URL, if the document is draft/unpublished, then it will redirect to a 404 (not found) page.
