### POST /api/v1/nda-templates/{id}/versions/{versionId}/activate

**Activate an NDA template version**

Activates a specific published version of an NDA template, making it the active version that contacts will sign.
This operation:
- Deactivates all other versions (sets is_active to false)
- Activates the specified version (sets is_active to true)
- Updates the template status to "published"

Only published versions can be activated. Attempting to activate a draft version will return an error.
