+Alternatively, you can provide a custom baggage key predicate to select which baggage keys you want to copy.
+
+For example, to only copy baggage entries that start with `my-key`:
+
+```javascript
+new BaggageSpanProcessor((baggageKey: string) => key.startsWith('my-key'))
+```
+
+For example, to only copy baggage entries that matches the regex `^key.+`:
+
+```javascript
+const regex = new RegExp("^key.+")
+new BaggageSpanProcessor((baggageKey: string) => regex.test(baggageKey))
+```
