There are two ways to go about customizing your AIP format:

1. You can customize your dspace.cfg settings pertaining to AIP generation. These configurations will allow you to specify exactly which DSpace Crosswalks will be called when generating the AIP METS manifest.
2. You can export your AIPs using one of the special options/flags.
