Why am I able to see data in Azure Document DB if it is encrypted?

As per this article - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/database-encryption-at-rest , data at rest is encrypted in Azure Cosmos DB ( Azure Document DB). When I use Data Explorer in Azure Portal, to view the collections, I can see the data in plain text. Is the data still encrypted when it is stored and is only de-crypted for the Data Explorer view in azure portal?

The encryption/decryption process is transparent to the end user. Thus, you never see the encrypted data as the platform handles the encryption/decryption. It is still encrypted at rest (thus what @jaxidian mentioned).
