How do you view your messages in iCloud?
Does apple support users trying to view their own message files in their iCloud? I would like to do view them without having to pay for a third-party app to extract a conversation.
I currently use macOS Mojave.

You can't view the messages in iCloud You can only view them in the Messages app/application.
I knew of the way which you keep scrolling up and the messages update. However, it stopped updating when I hit about Mar 2019 (which is still impressive nonetheless) and I wanted to go back to Dec 2018.
There isn't a complete file that can be produced to review the entire conversation? Such as, the message log sent on my MacBook's iMessage app, that saves into a folder in my hard drive; After the conversation had been closed.
Additionally, looking through my messages within the library folder, only partial messages of different conversations were saved as a back up. Is this normal?
Only 7 different dates of conversation logs with different people were saved out of the dozens in my iMessage history.
I think if you save a conversation, it remains on your computer in your user Library. Unfortunately, I don't know where in the Library it is saved. Perhaps someone else can help.
How do you view your messages in iCloud, without the use of third-party software (or at least free third-party software to extract files)?
