When you create a SharePoint solution, Visual Studio adds the default SharePoint Features to the package in the solution. Before final deployment, you can add and remove SharePoint project items and Features to modify the SharePoint package.

Alternatively, you can use the Packaging Explorer to add and remove SharePoint project items. You can also view and change the hierarchy of the SharePoint project items and Features that are put into the package (.wsp). For more information, see How to: Add and remove features and items to a Package by using the Packaging Explorer.
