What is the difference between 'No A sino B' and 'No A sino que B'? Here is the text. Decidió no abrir la carta de su abuela, (sino / sino que) dejarla cerrada sin leer.
Muchas gracias.

Sino is a "but" that sets up additional action/information: "It was not only X but Y. "He not only did A but went and did B as well."
"Sino que" is "but rather."
I hope that helps.
