What it means
だけでなく~も means “not only A but also B.” It adds B to A and emphasizes that both apply. The first part can be a noun, a na-adjective with な, an i-adjective, or a plain-form verb. The second part is commonly followed by も, and the sentence predicate can be familiar or polite.
Usage note
だけでなく~も usually connects two parallel items or facts. The familiar or polite style comes from the rest of the sentence, especially its final predicate; だけでなく itself does not change.
